she felt herself sinking in blood.it closed around her knees.it sucked her down.it was at her waist , smelling like copper.she held her arms in the air and tried to scream.she couldnt make a noise.it licked at her armpits.she struggled , and for a second she thought she might break free.she slid down even farther and the blood filled her mouth with its warmth , its metallic stink.she tried to scream again and felt it pouring down her throat , into her lungs .
