They were small, not fuzzy or feathered, nothing that screamed or wailed, something that could not fight back. Serial killers do the same shit around that age.
Snapped a bone, pushed it through slick skin, nailed it to the dirt so it lived a bit longer but could not escape much.
"There's another one!" he said.
A surge, a wave breaking in my feet and fists. Cracked a jaw, cut an eye out, stuffed leftover fireworks into a bucket mouth, lit a match. Outside myself inside skin that was not mine yet.
"How many's that?" he said.
So easy to chase them down, giddy, crushed them under boots, beat them with knuckled sticks, dropped babies in a jar with nail holes in the lid so the wick could breathe.
"I'm hungry," I said.
Their eyes, those dark orbs, skin hot and thumping in my hand, only alive to gut, until my skin became mine, baked dirt sucking a splash of water.

I liked a lot the text, I like how you show your anger in it.
I like how you describe the skin, that is amazing!
cheer for it
Otto,
Tough one this, in several senses of the word.
Life tends to remember all violations against it and plants the ticket in us long afterward, so far as I know no one's ever paid off one of those yet.
Darkness waits there to be explored, yet it's still the darkness, and everything we say is our pith helmet.
