“GET THE FUCK OUT!” Blood splashes on my face.
“STOP!” Roy shouts back, wiping a tear away and attempting to sweep the filthy red vital fluid off my face.
He then encircles my waist with his two long arms. I hear a hiss that my brain decides to ignore. Hot lips touch my neck, living an inappropriate and ridiculous trail of light kisses on my flesh. The warmth is suffocating, but I keep whacking. Until I'm pulled away from the corpse, sucked into a very cold monochrome vortex.
