Hush

Hush

Been so many years, I don’t even remember the sun no more. I hear ‘em muttering, let ‘em talk. I’ll die in this box no doubt. I even heard they sealed it with the name. Trying to shame me I s’ppose. But I have my trophy; I pick my teeth with it every day. Wearin’ it down, but then it was so small to start with. Seems people dislike what I done, but that’s only ‘cause they don’t understan’ it. See, the sweet meat – it’s like veal, you gotta eat it when it’s supple, ‘fore it grows and loses the flavor.

Calling Hannibal Lecter…? Hideous and riveting; just what one would expect from the “Pen of the Damned!”

  Thank you very much! I’m fond of this one, I like adopting ‘other’ voices; in my head, it’s a big, burly southern man telling his tale. 😉
