Reaper

20. shredded death

20. shredded death

their claws dug into your skin
and ripped you 
limb from limb. 

tears of blood
spilled down your face, 
leaking from your eyes. 

your fingers
and then your toes.

your hands from
your arms
and then 
you arms 
from your shoulder. 

your shoulders from your neck
and you were still breathing, 
if only barely, 
as your struggled
to see through 
the tears of blood
still pouring down your face. 

you were choking
on your own tongue
as they ripped open
your stomach
and ate it's contents. 

"this is how
you repent
for your sins,"
she growled out, 
looking down
at her fingernails. 

"your soul
is
black
as coal,"
you managed to choke out, 
"and i hope
this is how
you died." 

she laughed, 
nodding, 
"i suppose
you will find out
in hell." 

just then, 
your head went flying
across the forest
and the dogs
finished off
your remains. 

she turned
to walked away, 
all the while smiling
wickedly. 

"i told you, 
a reaper
is simply something
no one can outrun."
