He could hear a new bride running about his playground, among the sewing tables and mannequins donning the suits and dressed he tailored. A new sacrifice, by the little mice scurrying about above, just to give them more time. Hopefully this one wouldn't be a failure and have to be strung up, like the other whores that gave up on love.
His eyes darted to a jiggling door handle, and a shiver of delight ran up his spine. 'They're here..!' He sucked in air through his teeth fast enough to create a hiss. His turned on his heel, his heavy, bloodied hands slapping against the frame of the locked door, and pressed his grinning face up against the glass of the door.
"Darling..." His breath fogged up the glass that kept them separated. No matter, there was another, unlocked door just a few steps away...
His lips were spread across his gleaming teeth. His eyes were wide and wild, his pupils being black pinpricks in a sea of blue, surrounded by red. They were perfect... Maybe this was finally the one, maybe it was meant to be! There were still some imperfections he had to take care of before they could exchange vows, though.
