The Waltz

second try (after reading a review)

She stares raptly, captured in a spell, as she flutters away from safety to the edge.

Swaying rhythmically, he tempts with promises of love.

She swallows fear as she listens to the enticing voice

Subtly, he draws the prey ever closer to the yawning abyss.

In her dream-state, she senses danger, but is powerless to resist.

He strikes quickly as he devours his helpless victim, a willing sacrifice.
