LANGUID

I pushed the carcass away, my body glutted and wobbly. I fell to my knees, weak, but not from exertion. He'd warned me I'd feel altered, 'blood drunk,' but I had no frame of reference. I closed my eyes and let the sensation wash over me. I was aware of everything around me in precise detail, but my gorge muted it, rounded the edges, slowed my perceptions to a more human speed. The thrill of the hunt was fading, replaced by something euphoric, almost sexual in its satisfaction. I lay on the forest floor, eyes skyward, basking in the glow.
