Dinner

The predatory serpent grinned
Illustration by Meghan Sim

The predatory serpent grinned.

Happy and well-fed.

Smoke around his nose thinned

His ugly mouth said:

« You know, that’s why it’s so nice to flirt

With you. You are so malleable

And sincere. You are completely alert

About that, I don’t have the noble

Slightest interest in you.

It looks like your dreams

Are not meant to come true.

You’ve been alone for too long, it seems. »
