Bottom Feeder

Blackened veins, severed wounds.
Her voice was cracking timbres fringed with a startling strain.
In a frenzied panic, her heart trickled from her lips.
She smiled wide in disdain.
The perfect prey, bottom feeders knew just how to make her believe that she was nothing, a blimp, a carcass of flesh that was destined to peel.
