Velocity Rush
"Before the g l i t t e r, the a s h e s and t o m b s t o n e d u s t..."
Ants crawled up and down my arms, marched the path from hip to toe. I marked every one of their million minuscule feet. They turned my flesh to dust, this body to an anthill. But every time I tugged on the silken sleeve of my Capitolite robes, they disappeared.
Ants are so crafty. Like the monster.
I can't sleep, so there's no point in being in the apartments for Eight. Not that I could find them. I don't even remember coming here. I remember a volcano, a stream of lava, a screaming engine.

I'm not sleeping. And I'm not eating, because nothing can feed the monster. There's something I'm supposed to be doing, but there's lava dripping from my ears and I'm burning up with a million minuscule feet and I'm unrav e l i n g

There's more than one way out. The pale boy is part hawk and part lifeline. I save my eyes from the tyranny of seeing, letting eyelids fall, and breathe in deeply. It's a shit way to get high. The sweet burn of smoke in my lungs. It's been too long.
When I look at him again, hawk boy is sharply in focus. I smile, rearranging flesh and teeth and tongue and lava. "I'll bet that joint looks hotter between my lips than yours."
