Snapdragons

I'm a monster DNA experiment and my beasts salivate at the thought of her.

In my human life, I was a hardworking blue-collar man.

And now I'm a monster.

My anger is tenfold in this form.

Yet I find a part of me that's fragile and needs protecting.

Every day, I turn to stone on her property to watch over her.

At night, I let myself into her home.

I find it impossible to stop myself.

These things inside me roar knowing this woman is mine.

I won't let her be taken from me.

Not when she's all I have left.

I watch. I stalk.

I feast. I prey.

I devour her when she has no idea.

The invisibility of my new body works to my advantage.

Until I see her scars.

The love I pour into her is nothing compared to the hate I'll give to him.

She. Is. Mine.

And all my beasts agree.
