"Is this really as far as you're willing to go?"
A seemingly innocuous question were it coming from literally any other mouth. At that time it came from the mouth of some squat cluster of flesh that bubbled and squirmed in place like a sack of maggots, only without the maggot's appeal.
It tilted the larger lump of flesh that was probably its head like a confused dog, as it waited for me to reply. I'd been hoping to buy myself some time but I could see its impatience growing in the way the twitching gradually became near convulsions as it slid closer to the open window in front of me.
I wanted, no, I needed to make that deal.
And so I simply said yes and then it left.
Thereby damning us both.
