The Cannibal Glow (Colby)

[Church Bells]

church bells

a diamond bullet

and a gun made of gold

Wind howled fiercely in the dead of night, a bone chilling shiver grappled the flesh of the dancing being. If their bones could jangle, oh what sweet music they would sing, a dirge for the day and a serenade for the stars above. 
 
Church Bells fast approached the river, its lively splashing speaking to them, beckoning them to come closer, and as they did they saw their moon white hide in the reflection of the water. The only distinctive markings on their body were a few splashes of black and some swipes of pink, apart from that their skin was perfect, pale, pristine. 

A whip of their exposed tail bone swung their onyx hairs, slapping away some pestering bugs. They lowered their head and began to sip the cold, sweet water of the old river, which did nothing to disturb it from its journey to the ocean beyond.
