The young woman lived to tell the tale.
She held the skinless creature, between her long slender nails.
The dark road she had travelled all alone.
No place comfortable enough to make her home.
She walked for miles,
losing energy upon her smile.
The little creature became her tall tale friend.
Moving ever so smoothly, he tried not to bend.
She loved him truly, because he is the only one who understands.
She grabs him by the tail, and hold his little hand.
They continue on their journey to hell.
An uplifting story, not ready to tell.
The one thing she doesn't realize is that she is already dead.
Keep feeding these stories, right from your head.
