Maybe if he could tell whether his name was Benton, Fenton or possibly even Benson, he wouldn't be chasing these deer through Richmond Park. 1 day ago reply retweet fwd

I dream I am free, bounding across the grass with the scent of deer blood in my nostrils, Benton's voice calling to me from far behind. 19 hours ago reply retweet fwd

Benton stumbles after me, invoking his god and calling my name in tongues I do not understand. He does not know my true name. 18 hours ago reply retweet fwd

And then I am upon the deer. Tooth meets flesh; the song of pain is sung; we merge. The deer and I are one, united in blood. We are purity. 18 hours ago reply retweet fwd
