It starts with small animals. by theemptyman

By Ghost One

You simply don't understand
That these methods of persuasion
Telegraph your intent,
Pacing back and forth
Between breadcumbs and throwing spikes,
Dragging a vacant leash
Once tethered to some poor soul
Who ran themself to death.

It always starts with small animals
And escalates to larger prey.
