(It broods to itself in the folds of the axis, tapping impatient digits along its hanging bottom lip. Lost, thinking eyes dart about, keeping themselves busy.)

(Nausea in its gut bubbles up. It ignores the pain in favor of thought.)

what a pretty watch

(It wakes in a pool of its own fluid, freshly fed and delirious from its weight. Strings are pulled taut where flesh has been replaced.)

(There is a vague sense that something is the matter. Something pulling on the line. There is bait to be had.)

(It goes quiet. Steady and silent. It is exhausted. It is given the illusion of fullness.)

(It whirs and grunts as it propels itself forward. Its form moves erratically, flopping and twisting and folding over onto itself as limbs dig deep into time. It scents Leon, his mind, before it goes blank.)
