Chloe went back to Matt’s house.
She kissed his neck and stroked his chest.
When she took off his shirt she noticed he had the body of a cheetah.

Her mum warned her about men like him
But she carried on regardless.

Six months later, Matt clamped his teeth
down on Chloe’s neck,
waited until she stopped moving
and ate away at her.
