I am reminded of Saran Wrap. That's what the Old One feels like as it begins to close tightly around my body. I can feel the last eddies of air being pushed away from my skin. I am like a fresh pound of bacon just removed from the package and wrapped for later. I am a newly manufactured toy being shrink wrapped for the shelf. I am the Christmas present you have always wanted hidden behind the opaque shield of paper. And now I'm about to be opened up from the inside out.
The thin digestive envelope of the Old One touches my skin. I draw in a sharp breath.
It feels good.
Now that is completely unexpected.
I like this feeling.
I like it a lot.
Who would have thought.
That being consumed could be so...
Oh yes, right there right there right there
I never realized pain could be
Soooo
Exquisite
I'm screaming aren't I?
But not screaming
In agony
This is ecstasy
Who would have thought
From the thrashing and
Throbbing and
Twisting and
Writhing of my body that
Oh yes, right there right there right there
Just eat the whole eye in one bite
Reach under my skin
Through the stitches
Running all along my body
And into my guts
To where my soul
Resides
Right there right there
My tether leads you
To the source of my
Being
I tremble
In anticipation
As your slimy ectoplasmic tendril
Wraps itself around
My being
Right there
Right there
Right here.
The edge
How can you just hold me
Over the edge
Between here and now
And there and never
The bliss of
Non ex is
tence
Oh
yes
I miss
Will miss
This experience
Gotcha you little piece
Of transubstantial garbage.
I hold the extended tongue of the surprised Old One with a thousand hands formed from the ultraviolet spectrum of my soul. 'You let your guard down,' I tell it as it squirms in my grasp. 'You are Old, aren't you?'
I drive my five thousand fingers into its insubstantial flesh and twist hard. Then I tear it apart into a thousand pieces.
