his heart soared.

dull pain, the kind that he knew as a friend, began to puff and throb in his teeth - a ringing of ears in his mouth.  his gums were aaaccchhhiiinnnggg, stinging. his tongue leaked something beautiful; a colour of wine that he drank up quickly.  but he is greedy, my friend, and in that pain, he had not had enough.

and oh god, how his heart soared.
