(“No offense Pryvani, but you can’t know what it’s like to lie on that plate and realize you’re about to be something’s meal.” Darren trembled as he recalled the feel of the cool porcelain against his bare skin, the screeching, chilling sound of steel on ceramic as utensils he couldn’t see dug into the flesh …
