Stung

She stings for her life,
paralyzing him with unknown certainty.
The numbness fades quickly
while ten thousand needles crash
like lightning through iron fences.
In dismay, he yells
as the black sole takes over in fearful vengeance.

FYI: I was stung by a scorpion for the first time the other night. It was pretty painful, but empowering at the same time! haha
