He watched the life slowly slipped away from his lover.
If his lover had to die, why couldn't he have been the one to kill him?
With a knife in hand, he cut a piece of meat from the carcass.
Stripping, he laid down and put a piece of his lover unto his tongue.
It was rigid but sweet and tangy like his lover and his lover's victims.
As he closed his eyes, he imagined his lungs slowly losing air, embracing the void.
He didn't move, he wanted to keep a piece of his lover as long as he could, grasp as much of him as possible.
When he wakes, he will be with him, forever.
This time he will not be a corpse, but a larva.
Inspired and based on the classic novel, Exquisite Corpse by Poppy Z. Brite.
