   Summary

   Amadeo lay in the dark silence, hand delicately tracing the stone enclosure before drifting to rest on his stomach. The pain was still there, eating away at him from the inside. Idly, his hand started pressing. Pushing down, down, down as if he could physically force the hunger away. His body molded to the bottom of the coffin as he crushed his abdomen. 

   His breath caught. 

   Amadeo turned sharply to his side, gagging as he released the pressure on his stomach. Saliva dripped down his face as he heaved. He wrapped his arms lightly around his middle, resting his head against the cold bed.

   This didn’t feel like love.
