Saliva builds behind blissfully smiling lips. Novelty breeds a kind of ravenous hunger, a hyper hybrid of its more generically acceptable twin. She wakes anew with her charges, each and every time. Until they at last dull or disappoint. And then she is but bodily function, boredom wreathed and wasted away. Preparing for the next. And the next after that.

For each, in their time, she lives and breathes. Pure intoxication. As long as they...entertain. The best are those that refuse. Challenge her creativity to culture a means of extorting said entertainment. She does so hope he refuses. She is in need of a good...stretching of her immoral imagination.

Each exhibit she entertained deserved a hall of it’s very own. His was crafted, wrought and detailed in immaculate marble.

How lovely the product of birth, even a second one. To watch his moth lashes flutter, break into the white light of his cage…why it quite stilled her breath!

He was worth every penny.
