Quotes / Eaten Alive

Comic Books

And I feel no pain as the vice-like jaws of the raw-necked vultures close upon my flesh and peel it from my bones. I cannot move... I cannot stop them...
I can only watch in silent horror as they feed upon me. I can watch only until one of them plucks my eyeballs from my skull...
