I can feel it circling.

Closing in.

waiting for just the right moment to strike. I’ being hunted…

but what else is new, right? ever since this phoenix thing started--

--I’ve felt like the puff- brained star of my own personal slasher movie. nightmares around every corner.

always on the lookout for unseen horror. thing is, I’m not some dumb scream queen.

you won’t find me curled up in a closet—

--waiting for a hockey mask hatchet man—

--or whatever jumped-up fish stick has its eye on me down here.

so come x-men may run take the sometimes, but bait, sea we don’t hide. bass.

see if you don’t get— --my hook. --my hook. quite a clever ploy there, red.

first lull the into submission with your sad drylander dog paddle. then simply drown yourself before he can eat you.

whoa!

the end result is roughly the same— --crimson --but cloud of freckled you get the backwash— satisfaction of going out on your own terms.

so snide and self-righteous. he’s --even as he going out of his saves my land- way to mock me— loving life.

but that’s exactly why this jerk I came here. exactly might be the what only one I need. who can save me from my flaming fate.
