The Calendar Post: Camouflage

[shapinglight]

Well, it's December. I've uploaded my little Christmas fox icon, and here is the final Calendar Post of 2009, which means it's the last picture from my wonderful sueworld2003 fanart calendar. Thanks again to sueworld2003 for creating these beautiful works and to dwyld without whom not.

Yet again, I've only managed a drabble. I don't think it's any good, but perhaps it sort of goes with the picture - turning of the year and all that - and even if the drabble makes you shudder, you can still enjoy the picture.

Setting: None, as such

You won't see me till it's too late.

I'm hidden among leaves, drowned in ivy – the thing that lurks in dark alleys. The real monster in the bedroom closet.

You won’t hear me till it's too late.

I'm silent as the grave, or loud as glass smashed on wet pavements, the impact of blade in flesh, the blare of police sirens. Either way, you won't hear me coming.

You won't smell me till it's too late.

Not until the scent of blood taints the air. Rich, slippery -like iron filings on the tongue.

I'm death. Gonna give me a kiss?

The picture is gorgeous and the prose matches it perfectly. And as other people have mentioned, I can just hear it in Spike's voice in my head- a sensual, deadly, self confident purr.

That's good. Glad it worked for you, and thanks. :)
