Sulfur

he laughs
sensing my fear.

"Sweety," he whispers to the girl,  "Leave me with her for a while."

I could hear her heels walk out into the darkness.

I couldn't move
breathing seemed less of an option.

I began to smell rotten eggs.

Sulfur...

My mind raced faster and faster.

Why was I here?
Why did I come back to this place?
Why?

"Need help with those questions, love?"

his voice was menacingly kind.

I moved my eyes towards him.

he laughed.
"Oh girl, you are amusing. You don't remember anything do you?"

his smile was horrific. I hadn't missed it.

his black leather shoes were in front of my face.

his hand moved my hair away from my eyes.
I couldn't shake him away. 

he laughed moving his mouth closer to my ear.

I could feel his skin, it was scaled.
Something you wouldn't notice from afar.
But see him close, it was more than noticeable.

"You lost love. You and you silly light lost."
