First Bite
Oh… Mmm… [There’s humming over the comm. for a few seconds, then a deep inhale.]
It smells… like skin… and sweat… or too much sodium in the blood… And I hear the walls scream… No one knows if their life will still be theirs tomorrow…
And everyone fears the destruction of their previous lives…
[Sing song…] Mary, Mary, quite contrary, why did your garden die…?
Mmm… [There’s some shuffling… Drusilla may or may not have just licked the side of her comm.]
This reminds me of a telephone… I have no need for this toy… I can make my own toys.
[The comm. clicks off when she drops it at her feet.]
