Eyes of Laceration *END OF VOLUME ONE*

She dropped
from where she hung
on the pier.

Blood.
Spurting from her
as she attempted to gauge out
the elegantly refined
shard of glass from her back,
leaving her writhing
on the ground below the pier.

It stabbed at her,
sending her into violent spasms
of back arching and limb flinging
making her resemblant of a
fish flopping hopelessly on the ground
after having a hook
speared through its head.

She fumbled for what seemed like days in a matter of moments
trying to remove the dagger
piercing her back
piercing her kidney
piercing her mind
piercing her soul...
She worked at it endlessly,
through surging agony
in a pool of her own blood,
the smell of death only adding
to her mental anxiety and confusion.

It all started going so fast before her,
she worked at the glass
with all her might
which was decreasing by the second.
she couldn't
hold
on
she was
losing it.
it was
fading
and fading
she tried
so hard
but couldn't reach
and she screamed
but nothing came out
and she
and she
she
she
...

she stopped.
her body ended all movement.
and after one, last, resolute breath,
she died.
