eve becomes SNAKE -- or snake becomes EVE. whichever way ROUND, she is FREER. hell follows her ‘round, hell called MAN, hell called ADAM, trying to make the CHANGING about him. adam demands of god why he is being PUNISHED like this. eve finds GRACE in the dark cracks between rocks. eve finds god in the SOLITUDE. eve finds ABSOLUTION in the red press of her knees / scales into the dirt. eve, UNBLINKING, watches adam rail. adam demands ANSWERS and eve / snake / eve exits the GARDEN to go and find them for HERSELF.
ind. priv. kate fuller of el rey network's from dusk till dawn: the series. as told by duchess. est april 4th 2017.
as far as he was concerned, kate had died, was dead, the girl he once loved ripped from him like every other goddamned thing he ever cared about. or at least, that’s what he thought for awhile. until she showed up, a walking skeleton. living dead. a culebra. she was sickly, pale, her bright eyes still shining but her dimpled smile long gone. he feels all the breath knocked out of him. feels a pull in the heart he had long since thought hardened. his voice is barely a whisper when he says her name. “kate…” and for the first time in his life, seth gecko is at a loss for words.
“how?”
shame plays over her features as clear as day . i didn’t ask for this , fingertips like ice and venom in her veins . she should be dead , she’s not contesting that : she half thinks she’d be better off that way . dark circles beneath her eyes & once - cherubic cheeks are sunken & shallow ; she looks starved . she is starved . clinging to whatever piece of humanity she had left lead her to seth gecko’s doorstep , & here she stands , arms looped around herself & something like fear sparking in her eyes . ❝ —— please don’t make me talk about it . ❞ a plea , rasped from lips & throat that are begging for drink , for redemption , for safety .
