Devoured.
I was.
Whole.


Stomach acid splashing,
eating away at my eyelashes,
the burning sensation of it
working on my layered skin.

I dared not scream and chance it intruding,
consuming from
the inside.

My saline tears burned as
they ran down my cheekbones,
becoming one with the fluid
as they dripped off my jaw.

Sudden gut instinct kicked in;
punching at the walls of my
intestinal prison,
desperate for some air,
freedom from becoming nothing,
slowly and painfully.

A wailing filled my ears,
the sound waves cascading over me,
the vibrations bouncing around
my head in a halo.

I realized it was my own voice,
my own fear I was hearing,
echoing through my brain.

Suddenly, the world went dark. And there was nothing.
