The Thirteenth Hell by Mike Allen

Her voice in my ear said,look, look.Though I squeezed my eyelids shut,hid my face in my hands, I could still see it.I pressed my fingernails in,hooked my thumbs and pulled,like so many here before. Andshe said, look, and I could still see it.I crawled to the wall,slammed my head on the stone,found the cracks in the bone and clawed.Her voice in my brain said, look,and I could still see it.I scrabbled at the groundturned soft by my blood,made a hole deep enough to forcemy head in. She whispered from the earth,look, look, and I could still see it.The mud has swallowed me.Things there feast on what's leftof what I used to be. And sheis one of them, her mouth movingin my skull. Look, she breathes, look,and I can still see it.
