@mortalrot asked : 39﹕ sender is caught following receiver . ( for famine !! )
the irony doesn’t escape him : to spend so long in a fox’s hole only to suddenly find yourself slipping into the role of rabbit through another’s eye ---- it’s fascinating , how easily perceptions can be twisted . he first notices the shadow stretching itself thing behind the trail of his heel , somewhere near a vacant alleyway that had long been forgotten by god . streetlights flicker as he continues , foreboading danger , and the skies above promise no salvation , starless and painted black . what did it want? why this sudden coy demeanor? it feels awfully inadequate , to stand behind the other side of the fence , for once .
jack is there one moment , and the next he disappears behind a corner , taking a sharp turn . he settles himself against an ancient brick wall , crumbling to touch ; dusting off the specks of dry cement that pepper down his expensive blaze while waiting for the inevitable . “ i’m flattered , really , ” gloved fingers wave cartoonishly as she emerges , dimly lit and veiled in a mysterious aura . he accesses her from that same spot , without moving an inch . “ ---- but you could’ve just said hello . ”
