The Surgeon 3 (Disturbing Content)

The Surgeon 3  (4th in my Horror Experiment)

He looks at the woman
hanging from chains
embedded in the ceiling
Carefully, he logs an entry
in the notebook placed
on the rolling cart
with his instruments

The woman's mouth is taped shut
but her eyes speak volumes
Fear, anger, remorse

The surgeon looks over his tools
Careful consideration the key
Delicately, he handles the scapel
testing the keen blade
with a gentle cut on the cheek
The woman squirms

Carefully, he makes another note
before slowly, delicately, he
cuts trhough the skin
around the neck
just where it touches the shoulders
Very gently, he must not cut
to deep

Ever so gently, he does the same
around each wrist before
making another notation
An almost tender slice from
collar to wrist
completes the first part

He makes another notation
as he brings the cart closer
Carefully, he chooses
an even more delicate blade
as he slowly begins to peel
the skin from the upper torso

As she passes out he sighs,
it's going to drag on a long time
if she keeps fainting, he thinks
The experiment will be worth it
for future victims
How much skin can someone lose
and still remain alive?

The surgeon smiles as he
makes another entry
This is going to be delicious...
