She took something and now the light was so bright so impossibly bright it was burning through her eyes. She took something and she had to come down because every sound spiked into her brain and her skin was on fire.

Rolling her tongue, she could taste it still, thick and filling the corners of her mouth. She gasped as her tongue found something sharp, something pointed, inside her lips.

It hurt! So bad. Inside of her, eating at her, pulsing in her. She only took something but it felt like she was gonna die, she couldn’t get back down, she was so hungry.

So ravenous.
