Happy Crecent
I think I met the happiest person in the world! When they walk its like the limp on their right leg isn’t even there! Dressed in a violet fine stitched suit, slicked back hair that bounced with every step, even more so with his right. His smile shined from ear to ear, teeth bleached with a glistenin. Eyes a deep grey that could be almost mistooken for a mist. Threre has to be something behind those eyes… maybe a darkness like a warring ship creeping out of the fog. The gold, leather strap watch and rings maybe his booty? None the matter, his aura seemed more valuable, like an angels light beaming off him, intoxicating if stared at. Like he was trying to draw in everyone like flies to a light bulb.
As he passed me.. I couldn’t help but follow him. “Who was this man?” I thought. A chill came up my spine as I moved up his trousers to just below his waist line. No blushing…just awe. I followed him, unable to keep my eyes off his radiant succubus like offing. Everyone’s head turned as he passed. His head like a horse with blinders. When he turned off the sidewalk into an alley, only a shimmer of a warning came to me. “He seemed to poise for such a grotesque path for a man of his cleanliness”. I surrendered the feeling almost unintentionally.
The alley became darker and him less visable with every step. He stopped, and twisted his heels. Body rotating like it was fixed, maniquin like. His face was coming into view where I saw his smile was almost ripping, blood from the corners of his mouth, teeth had become pointed and red pupils gleaming from the gunsmoke eys. He lifted off the ground floating to me. It was too late I was transfixed on everything about him. Even as he bit into my neck, gouging the life from within, into his happy expression.
