Restless pacing between bars of cold steel.
Clawed hands wrap around them, shaking them. Trying to dislodge them, bend them....anything to create a gap to slip through and find prey.
Pointless roars, quite grumbles and growls. Months of starvation without so much as a morsel.
The man was useless. He kept the animal caged up while he dealt with his stupid "problems". While he was "moving forward" and "getting over it".
None of this mattered to the animal. He needed to devour, to penetrate. This beast cared little for the petty stupid man. He needed flesh to bruise and bite and scratch.
He needed to overpower and violate. He need to hear the moans and cries of pain. He need to thrust into his prey, wrap his hand around their throat and fill them with his seed.
He needed to leave marks and bruises and feed...feed on the pain as he marked his prey again and again as his.
The beast knew he could never be truly free but at least the man occasionally let him out. Shackled and chained and weighed down and held back but at least sometimes the man would let him play just anl little.
Now? Months upon months of silence. Restless pacing between bars. Pointless howling and rattling of the cage.
Then the door open just a crack...
