Caged Beauty by Athena Storm

I’m stuck in Hell. And the Devil is after me.

He smells me.
I can feel him, even if I run far away.
And he can feel me.
We’re stuck on a ship that’s slowly crumbling.
Their world is dying. They are dying as a race.
So they feast. Fight. And conquer their next victim.
I run.

But it’s impossible to hide.
He’s set his sights on me.
His entire body knows every fiber of my being.
I can’t believe I’m tied to a monster.
A brute. A beast.
They kill wantonly. They eat those they kill.
And for those they claim?

It’s even worse.
I’m scared.
All alone, I’m lonely. Cold.
He’s coming for me.
When he finds me?
I don’t know what he’ll do.
Or what I’ll do for him?
I’m afraid to find out.
