TIL: Hypodermic Needles

I had a nightmare that engaged my fear of heights, with airplanes and parachutes and Swastikas. But it started out pretty tame. Here's the start of the dream.

Disclaimer: Explicit Gore Warning

One shot,

One hit,

One falls laid down to rest

Bleeding all over gonna leave a mess

Open wound, it's a hemorrhage.

-

I'm just a street urchin,

A shady pickpocket.

But there was more than money in his wallet,

Inside I'm surprised to find throwing knives,

Pins and needles like a torture device.

I can't exactly go and give it back,

With weapons like these, he'd probably attack.

-

Poison tipped

Melts your flesh

I get hit

I refuse death.

-

Bleeding like crazy

But the poison is inert.

I take the needle impaling my hand

And I throw it at his heart.

-

Skin writhes and wrinkles

Sloughs off like snakeskin.

But off falls also the tendons.

Ligaments and innards til bare bones collapse.

-

I did it. I survived.

But I'm target for this crime.

This is no longer petty theft

But a rob and murder bandit.
