A Grey
mouthed telepathy falls on deaf alien minds – unacknowledged lying on slabs deflated flaccid limbs – induced paralysis staring blinding light suspended overhead illuminating rigid expressions of muted agony – discomforted at precision probing prodded – virile vivisection an attempt to uncover what lies – morbid curiosity indulged conceding an attempt to gain favor –…
Fantastic Famine
