"Why the #segmentation in the throat scales?" Dr. Crews poked at the glistening shards.
The throat scales popped apart. Spores sprayed her face shield.
Dr. Chang said, "Retributive violence after its death?"
Dr. Crews' face shield shattered. Spores swarmed.

"Product management is about quality. #Marketing is about profit. Quality never ensures profit. That's why the marketing department has a bigger budget."
"That's why our ugly cars explode, you know."
"Only profit matters if you are a real man."

They stood rigid in the sun, trapped in a triangle of pointed pistols. Moments ticked by. #Pressure mounted. Vultures circled high above.
The air sizzled, burst into flames, and from them a bald stranger stepped into the desert. He shot them all before they could ask.

What could be bad about a man with that smile, I thought. But Leo had a #nightmare in his pocket. He was my first. Back then, the infiltration of the Schrawdags was only rumor. Now I have 7 jars with 7 cocks with jagged edges on my shelf. The cops call me Cleaver.

He tipped her chair back and plunged the knife into her chest. No blood. No screaming. Just her smile.
"Make sure you are the worst monster in the field," she said, snapping the zip ties around her wrists.

Nothing so magnificent as the indignation of a pimp staring at the bloody stump of his left wrist. Nothing so satisfying as licking the blood. I am the Corset that breaks the ribs of the underworld. I am more than the night.

#WeirdMicro For your darksome balladry.
Vacillating between turgid melancholy and righteous tedium, I humor myself.
Prompt words: magnificent indignation

"I call it #velveteen. It's so soft." She licked the slice of processed cheese product. "I love the way it squishes between my tongue and soft palette!" She grinned, orange goo stuck to her teeth.
I looked away from her maniacal eyes. "Senator, the vote is in an hour."

"Once I called her 'my petit #mignonette' with the fake Frenchie accent and the leer, the whole thing, and she shot me in the face. That's why I'm stuck haunting this stupid old hotel."
What came through the static on the spirit box was "save me."

Insensate and #insatiable, they lurched and crawled chewing up not only human flesh but everything. Asphalt, window glass, car bumpers: everything. Heidi huddled in the attic, covering her ears. But the relentless sound of grinding teeth, she couldn't escape it.

heir hunger as inscrutable as it was #insatiable, the microorganisms first sucked off wings. Billions of mutilated birds and insects writhed across the earth. They fed on blood, filtering light through their bloated forms. Those left alive ran through a hungry red fog.

The music lifted from strings under her fingers to ratchet apart his rib cage. The #desire pulsed in his ears, set him shaking. Why couldn't he be a vampire content to ease his needs with anyone's blood? Why did it have to be the blood of someone who created such beauty?

He needed inspiration - inspiratus - breathed into or he would melt into bones never hearing music again. Inspiratus. He shop vacced the air above a lily field, then gripped the nozzle in his teeth. He switched on reverse. Inspiratus. Such music bursting in his ears.

The scientists watched as the thing unhinged its jaw, as two thick tongues wrapped around the #radioactive bait.
"Swallow it, motherfucker," whispered one.
It chewed then swallowed it. Unaffected, it turned its 27 eyes on the scientists. The slit pupils narrowed.
