Bones crack, shatter

Pierce my soft flesh

As I am dashed against a wall

My body lands with a sickening thud

My heart is pounding

My blood is rushing in my ears and

Pouring out of my wounds and

There are so many

But I struggle to rise

Gasping, I collapse

And I can hear my broken heart

Pumping away

Slower, slower

Blood clumps my lashes

And I look up and see

Through the fuzzy edges of my vision

My tormentor

His eyes are wild, inhuman

As if possessed by some demon

He hits me again, blow after blow

Gloats at my pain

But his taunts are lost on me

For all I hear is my heart

Thumping ever

Slower

Until

It

Stops.
