--Blood in the water--

Salt -- Salt --- Salt

Sparks of life -- Sparks expand

Many sizes --- Many shapes

New forms -- Slow -- Unfluid motions

-- Study --

Salt -- Salt -- Salt

Sparks from all sides

Youth -- Charge -- Fear

Age -- Calm -- Less and more

Neutral limbs

Broken spark

--- Eat? –

-- Test! --

Salt! Salt! Salt!

Nose ready -- teeth safe

Broken spark expands

Pain! Neutral limb pushes!

Broken spark rises!

-- Chase! –

Illustration by Melanie D.



Caught! Unseen thing! Biting into teeth!

Young spark pulls!

Broken spark dives!

Pain! Cut! Deep!

FIGHT! THRASH! BITE!

TURN! BITE! BREATHE!

Hold severed!

Snap! Crack! PAIN!

-- Flee! --

Salt! Salt!

Sparks behind -- Sparks reduce

Salt! Salt!

Weight inside!

Salt! Salt!

Cold burn!

Salt! Salt!

--Blood in the water!--
