Swiftcurrent Creek Pulcinella

As if a switch had been flipped, a different face was suddenly revealed. The portrait of a man kind and playful switched suddenly to one she had never been shown before. The yawning gap of a mouth full of long, discolored teeth suddenly transformed the man into a monster and the stink of carrion-eater breath blew across her as he barked loudly enough to make her startle and wince. 

She would remember this as her first impression of the man- all teeth, eyes burning. 

Her heart gave an odd flutter within her chest, stuttering for a moment. With no warning, the girl pitched forward, lips peeling back in agony before she fell to the ground, limp.
