When It All Goes South

by Vampire By Day Wolf By Night

Mama always told me I was a danger magnet. I ne'er understood what she meant until I was actually starin' death in the face. To be honest, I ne'er gave much thought on how I was gonna die. But dyin' in the hands of a lady shorter than me just ain't seem right.

Mama always told me I was a danger magnet. I ne'er understood what she meant until I was actually starin' death in the face. To be honest, I ne'er gave much thought on how I was gonna die. But dyin' in the hands of a lady shorter than me just ain't seem right.

The predatory look on her face was somethin' I ain't ever seen before. I knew there's no way out. I close my eyes an' pray that death comes quickly.
