A recent idea that compelled me to write a short blurb, please do give me your feedback! I will definitely be adding to this as time goes on.


"Fucking piss..." The inevitable horror slammed into reality like a bus hurtling into 10 tons of concrete

"Arvie!!!... You need to wake up now!!!" Kira eked out in a muted yet terrified whisper. Maybe it was the groans and banging at the door or maybe it was the fact that she could hear dozens of others shuffling towards their hideout; alerted to their presence by an unfortunate mishap on a what should have been a harmless food-supply run. Kira felt the tips of her blue ears burn red hot as her heart leapt into her throat. Their angered ominous groans only made each subsequent thud against the barricaded door that much worse. Kira was rapidly deteriorating, clawing desperately at her face in a flurry of panic. The charm of her emerald eyes was replaced by blacked pits holding nothing but terror and despair, complemented by the freshly torn rivers of Crimson streaking down her horrified face, parting only to outline those desolate blackened pits a shade of hell, and ominously regrouping to dye her white chin in the color of death.

Now at the onset of her death, Kira was disheveled, distraught and had begun mutilating herself to ease her adrenaline-flooded blood vessels. "Deargoddeargodsweetfuckinglordabovesavemefuckinggoddamnhell" was her muted chant under her breathe as she rocked against the cold, steel back wall that was now to be her usher into the afterlife.

Just then Arvie was slowly 'roused into the welcoming embrace of current fiasco unfolding before them. "Babe... the fuck is happening?"

The Hyena was more miffed than worried, as far as she was concerned her head felt like it was splitting apart, and her beautiful, blue fox just blew a fuse.

THUD THUD THUD

Immediately the gray, maroon speckled face was cocked questioningly at the door. Slowly a picture was formulating in her mind. With the sounds of hunger and death becoming menacingly clear, the hyena could only stare down the door with a small pang of desperation hoping that she could bare a laser right through the barricaded metal and right through their adversaries.

"What in the ever-loving FUCK did you do out there?!" Breaking away from the door to glare incredulously at the balled-up fox. "I sincerely hope that the god-damn Tin-Man came romping through here, because there should NOT be a horde of those damn Voodoo shits outside our door!" Pointing an extended digit at the fox, the gray predator slowly stomped towards the fox with each angry syllable "We had a great things going in this little apartment complex! It was keeping our tails safely attached to our asses. Then I WAKE UP TO THI-" And with that last brief exclamation her world went fuzzy as the hyena took a labored few steps only to collapse onto the blue foxes shuddering frame.

With death at their door and her beloved mate collapsing lifelessly before her very eyes, Kira broke. With one anguished, forlorn screech she let all of the dead, hopeless world know her pain. She let out all of her pent up fear and despair. Her emotions flowed from her very soul, swirling their way up her throat and pouring out her extended maw. Every last drop of terror, and fear, and desperation, and sadness concocted from the festering death of her once beloved and familiar world, spilled out over her tongue and pooled on the cold floor of that empty plain of torment that was to be their grave.
