Asphyxiation
An acrostic poem
Ever since the day I saw you
Come around the corner in the store
Like a sudden breeze, like the part of me
I never knew I had; even as our eyes met that fateful day,
Penetrating the depths of our souls in
Surprised wonder, I’ve been holding my breath, awaiting this endless
Eclipse

A Dwarf's Life -- In Brief (Episode 3)
To Gromdahl's dismay, before he had time to react, before he really even had time to fully realize what was happening, the vines had already wrapped around the cart's axles and had begun to tighten around Bessie's ankles as well. The goat tried to bolt, tried to escape from the creepers’ infernal grasp, but she was held fast to the spot and could only bleat in terror. Gromdahl released his grip on the crank and drew his axe from his belt with a bellow.
