Help me.
The machines work at my limbs, each and every one, till I feel the claw of one android’s metal hand scrape around my throat.
Beyond them, I see the portrait of a queen on a throne. She looks serene. She looks powerful.
A scream tears from my throat.
But soon that is stifled as they muffle me. They numb me with an injection.
I can feel their appendages pulling at me, prying at me, and there’s no remorse.
Help me.
No one hears.
My voice is gone.
I am no better than a doll of scrap materials now.
This is my third take on the 100 Story Challenge! Lyrics define these stories, and this piece‘s title was inspired by “vampire” from Olivia Rodrigo.
