In the corner, a squat woman hunches in her own soil. She mutters to herself, swaying back and forth as her quarry pulls in a little more tightly upon himself.

He is barefoot, shirtless – a mass of bruises and angular bones protruding through the thin, bluish skin of his back where he claws at his shoulders with filthy fingernails.

She hums tonelessly. It is a grating rasp at the back of her throat as she rolls her hooked-ring between her fingers. The point is sharpened. It never dulls with time – though it is stained from those she has had before.

He trembles at her approach.

She will have him too.
