Ruby Red Nails

Slash across your face.



You drop the girl, the money, your life.

Clutching your burning flesh.



You fall to the ground,

feel a sharp pain in your gut.



You've made a mistake.

This girl is weird.



Should you run?

Can you stand?



You feel guilty.

How could you have done these things?



Your mind goes numb.

All the screams you've caused rush back.



You start whimpering.

Holding yourself together.



The girl leaves.

The lights flash off her nails.

I was bored. I had painted my nail red. This is what came out of it.
