Sinew snapped letting the muscle roll back and exposing the bone. Blood poured around the ebony cascading in droplets to the ground. A trench, cut deep into the concrete floor caught the essence encouraging along the path to a drain.   

Charcoal bile rolled on her tongue, it splashed around in the corners of her mouth and spilled out the sides

Charcoal bile rolled on her tongue, it splashed around in the corners of her mouth and spilled out the sides. It poured as a foam, thick and thirsty. It filled her nose, choking out orifices and air.

Her lungs screamed hot. Pain ran like fireworks. Eyes bulged red. 

Life dripped from the tips of her fingers and poured from the gaping hole of broken bones. The pain became a second skin holding her in an intimate embrace. She welcomed death, prayed for it yet it did not take. 

Time elongated as torture stretched

Time elongated as torture stretched. It ticked away with each heartbeat and as she drew closer to death, he pushed it away embedding a needle deep within her arm. She floated, a bubble lost on the breeze between heaven and hell. He knew she was on the edge, killing the stab for a short time and then reeling her back to his reality.

Her eyes felt as though they were exploding, the agony drew up through her veins and pushed through to the periphery of her bones. Her body shook, gasps of pain escaped her terrorized lips, as the level of torture pulling the skin taut.

The intravenous dripped the liquid from the bag pooling around her, as the needle slipped from her skin, unable to hold in her sagging flesh

The intravenous dripped the liquid from the bag pooling around her, as the needle slipped from her skin, unable to hold in her sagging flesh. Puncture wounds lined the insides of her arms and traced between toes and fingers. The fringe of her vision smoothed to warm puddles color. Aqua flickered to fields of violet. The ceiling above shone and swayed in fuschia tones.

Her eyes flickered as her sight blurred and the sound of her heart filled her ears. The drumming pulled her mind, expanding to the reaches of her human flesh. She licked her parched lips trying to focus on the rhythm of her breathing, to drown out the other noises that reminded her hell was standing in the room.

A screeching spinning noise began, picking up speed. The vibration grew louder. The floor shook as her legs trembled. Tears slid down her face. Her tongue moved around her mouth as a metallic taste hit her senses. Screaming pervaded her ears as a bone snapped and her head spun round in slow motion. Then everything went black.
