Puppet Master
Sounds of the cello. Screams of pain. Screeching of metal cords holding the marionette in place.
Not breathing, he watches his doll perform for him.
Slender arms strain in position. Shark hooks pierce skin. Ribbons of blood flow down pale flesh.
Washed in tears, strained by body suspension, his doll is perfect.
This is his design, his performance. And the show won’t stop until he plays the final note.
