[camera caption]: sharp talons scabbing wood. Slowly.
[close-up]: the tangled silver ring atop a bloodied claw.
[camera caption]: sunset, shadowed towers. A winged thing taking flight.
[close-up]: the raw meat slipping, falling.
[camera caption]: behind it, airborne kin by the thousands.

"Have you seen the stakes today?"

[close-up]: two glass balls in collision, once, then break apart.
[camera caption]: beads on a thread, breaking one, by one, by one.

[camera caption]: ticket stubs on a pile of letters. No address. No stamps.
[camera]: envelope, right to the pile, inked scribbling on a corner.
[close-up]: barely legible, DUE.

"Only winners here."

[camera caption]: desert land, same as before, sudden flame, now. Pure power.
[camera caption]: footprints in the sand.
[close-up]: claw prints by them.

"And nothing runs cheap."

[camera caption :: cleanest detail of all transmissions]: City panorama.
