[01:47.15]Empty sockets⁴ stared back,
[01:49.20]devoid of anything
[01:50.53]but filmy membranes⁵ across distant juicing flesh.
[01:55.46]Long, skeletal bones reached out,
[01:59.58]the remains⁶ of muscles clinging to the forearm.
[02:04.59]Skin covered her shoulders and legs,
[02:07.90]peeling off in random⁷ layers around her joints,
[02:12.01]and veins⁸ stretched over the mottled,
[02:14.55]translucent skin of her face
[02:16.89]as the bloody⁹ stump¹⁰ of her mouth spread into a smile.
[02:21.98]"Hello, darling."
