I hope Cora's husband savors every bite
Not a crumb goes to waste, they lick their plates with delight
Then hopefully they enjoy the rest of their time
As they enter their golden years, away from their prime
And still look forward to dinner being served at night

The Devil's Cut
“Comrade, finally you’re awake.” The voice was smooth, sensual. A flickering incandescent bar was all that lit the white, sterile room. All Vladimir remembered was everything going black. He tried to move his arms and found them strapped to the gurney.
