Kiss and Die

Chapter 101

My love is like a red, red rose, Ruby hummed quietly to herself.

Sheng was staring at her. She stopped humming and let go of his intestines, twenty feet of blue-grey tube spilled from her lap; she crawled over to him. She was naked, covered in his blood. She reached behind his head and undid the gag mask. His mouth was full of blood where he had broken his teeth biting into the rubber ball.

‘Have you got something you want to say to me?’ she said.

Sheng stared at her. Blood spat from his mouth as he tried to talk.

‘I can’t hear you,’ said Ruby. ‘Speak up.’

‘Go to hell.’

Ruby picked up the saw and switched it on.
