Like Poe

I enjoyed this. It's reminiscent of Poe. My one quibble is that I think maybe the oral sex scene could have been detailed a little more. I'd like to have read about the color, volume, texture, and taste of the sperm, for example, which would have tied in well with the end of the story, when the protagonist talks about having "eaten well" in having consumed the predator's genitals. Good story, though!

Excellent! This story is wonderfully literary, it begins sounding like it's inspired by "The Tell-Tale Heart" and ends sounding like "The Cask of Amontillado." Very strong influence of Poe. The third-to last paragraph confused me. I had to read the ending more than once to understand. I think it needs just a a detail or two to create the picture.
