Monstrilio

by Gerardo Sámano Córdova

He was withering. To wither is not the same as to break; to break is to have pieces to put back together, and to wither is to dry up, to wilt, to lose bone, to die, and death is the most boring.

He puts on music. Electronicky. Like aliens wailing.

I debate which story to tell her. Robbery or biting. I decide on biting. Without the monster parts.
