characters:Beast Tamer, (UNNAMED)
date written:9/9/24
Part One
------------
Beast Tamer rested. She lays almost bare in the moonlit acres, the cold arid breeze flowing through her rotten skin, she forgets about her troubles. Her bindings strewn through strings between dying trees, drying from the river she washed them in. That water now tainted, undrinkable from the flith expelled from the bindings. But need not drink, Beast Tamer's body continues to fail even with its necessities. And without worry, or trouble, or burden, Beast Tamer wanders to sleep. Tomorrows troubles, are tomorrows troubles.
Part Two
------------
She awakens to a bang. Her movements limited to a struggle, her speech restricted to groans, vocal cords barely intact still. Her eyes focus through the musty room noticing a figure in the dark. He stares intently at the rotting half-corpse. She stares back. He approaches Beast Tamer, and she struggles. Loud gurgling radiates from her excuse of a mouth in a desperate attempt to scare him off. Realizing she is without bindings, despair descends. The figure looms over her.
Part Three
------------
"I've finally found you. I did it! I found the fucking FREAK! THAT RUINED MY LIFE!"
His hand slams into the wall that binds Beast Tamer. He looks at his hand, and laughs. He breaks into a mad laughter, and falls to the ground, sobbing.
"You dont get it... You dont get it... You dont know what its like. You dont.. YOU DONT GET ANYTHING!"
A silence fills the room, torn only by the sobs of a broken man. Beast Tamer shifts slightly and the man stares at her cloudy green eyes.
"You disgust me. Look at yourself." He stands. He swings. She hurts. A clump of hair falls from where she hurt, and trickles of blood trail with. He grabs the hair and pulls it apart, the strands as fragile as a spider's web.
"Do you see what you are? You're mimicking what you can no longer have. Your time was up but you came back, you're everything no one strives to be."
He kicks her leg. She hurts. He leaves.
