I thought he/it was dead at first. I also thought it was fake, not the man part, but the wing thing. From what I could see, he looked like a man. These people were crazier than I’d thought and I’d already given them credit for being some of the craziest fuckers not caged. Something blue had been splashed onto him in several places. It dripped, forming small puddles beneath him. Swallowing the bile in my throat, I moved closer. Long black hair hung across his shoulders almost down to his pecs and pretty much obscured a look at his face, but the body—my, my what a beautiful specimen of the male anatomy! I moved around him, studying the wings, and discovered with a strange flutter in my belly that they were not only real wings, they were growing out of his shoulder blades. The flutter of excitement became a tremor of revulsion. The blue hadn’t been splashed on him. It was dripping from his veins where they’d wounded him. Bracing myself, I looked a little closer and saw that there was very little coagulation.
