Bite
By ErikaHK
Green and yellow dots with red and black stripes curled around themselves. Brown blobs rained down. Red splotches stained the dark cloth and dripped over green leaves. Orange flowers were smashed under his weight.
Trembling hands gripped his thigh. They reached something cold and jagged. It hissed at the contact and it didn’t move away.
John forced his lungs to work. The tingling at his extremities eased with the gulps of air. Shakily, his hand found his knife. He grabbed it and didn’t let it slide from his sweaty palm.
He sliced its neck, feeling cold blood squishing between his fingers.
The pressure was gone and blood flowed back to his leg.
John relaxed. Cold and warmth spread throughout his body. He was cool, then boiling, then freezing, then hot all over again. Dark edges claimed his vision. His breathing slowed. His heavy body started to float. Eyes drooped closed and he surrendered to it.
