It was all in the chase

the hunt

the anticipation

I waited, hidden, with bated breath

watched closely

saw my prey

I closed in

slowly, cautiously

She was shy

bashful

wouldn’t stay

I kept it up

circling slowly

coaxing gently

until I was within range…



I got her



I was ravenous

I devoured her

consumed her

flesh

Felt her warmth

Tasted her body…



I wake to find

nothing

A bare carcass

naked bones

where once there was a

beautiful, warm

body

But no more



It was all in the chase

the hunt

the anticipation
