Chapter 10 - Closer

Come closer, I do not bite. I devour.

I can consume you even if it's past supper.

No one's friend but everyone's enemy.

Keep friends close but us closer really.

I can smell your fear a mile away,

So once I arrive, I make sure to stay.

What separates us is some invisible veil,

But what's funny is I can make it work and fail.

You will not ever notice when I shut it down,

'Cause you're already gone even before making a frown.
