Predator
by Amazon Syren

     Mal lay in the musty darkness, trying to get used to sleeping on her back. It wasn’t easy. In her world, beds were for sex, or for dinner, and sometimes neither. Sleeping in a bed was something humans did.
     She felt something scuttle over her leg in the gloom. If anyone else had been awake they’d have seen her arm whip out like a snake, seizing the rat and bringing it, struggling to her mouth. She bit.
     This is what I am, she thought, as the blood spurted, hot and sharp, into her mouth. But not all that I am.
