eat you alive

it really does look black in the moonlight.


gianlucafalcone

There was no August in its face, only shadow.
No August in its eyes, only ember and ash.
Kate tried to retreat, but under the monster’s gaze, she couldn’t. She was frozen, not from fear, but from something else, something deeper. Her body was no longer listening, not to her. The red light still danced across her skin, and she marveled at the way a whole life could be distilled into something so simple. The way a death could be folded into a touch.
The Sunai took a step toward her. It didn’t move like other monsters, didn’t twitch and shudder like the Corsai, or slither and strike like the Malchai. No, it moved like smoke, dancing forward on a breeze she couldn’t feel. A song she couldn’t hear.
