Writing

"But this was different. This time it was real, that murderous rage that welled up when I thought of her, and it wasn’t going away. Her face was in front of me every time the blood beneath that thumbnail pulsed. I thought about her with each fresh throb of pain, and every time, I could see that thumb squeezing its way down against her windpipe. Again and again the scene came to me and I would watch, thumb in my mouth, gnawing."
