Diruktober Day 18: Snake Skin

   Diruktober is a DIR EN GREY themed inktober challenge by re_be_ka_f. I chose to use them as writing prompts to join in on the fun. 

You’d look good in snake skin. 

You’d look good being eaten by a giant python, Squeezed and manipulated until you turned a pretty shade of purple. 

You’d look good with your thrashing reduced to a slow, rhythmic wiggle, a sway that followed the guiding muscles of the beast. 

You are the one I often daydream about, in various forms of harm. Oh, the ways in which you’d look beautiful include with your throat slit, your figure blanketed by a crimson sheen of warmth. Your skin a crisp and clear line above it and your face resting in a peaceful expression. That blood was a burden anyway, wasn’t it darling? 

You’d look excellent laid across a barbecue, the smell of coals burning your delicate flesh. 

You look excellent tonight as I seal you in this latex coffin. Your slow strain building to thrashes as I vacuum the air from your cocoon, and then your lungs. 

You look beautiful writhing like a beast trying to be born until you slowly lose your breath, your energy, your life. 

You look good when I unzip you and you come to, sweaty and dazed, barely knowing where you are as you return to consciousness and gasp air like a ravenous fish. 

You look good when I towel you off and offer a point of grounding. 

But you’d look good in snake skin, being eaten alive when we both know you won’t make it back out.
