A/N: Written for the Prompts in Steps Challenge, Step 1 – prompt 3 (crimson).


Crimson Blood

There is no blood in the Digital World.
The blanket of red becomes
becomes only that rushing rage
that covers all,

Uncontrollable rage
that's even redder than his belly
or that broken-to-bits device
in his human's hands.

He's red: red with rage,
uncontrollable with little red shatters
in the other's palms.

He's a savage beast now
like a wild shark who's smelt blood –

But there is no blood on the Digital World,
though there is red rage.
