Reached for: Shark Meat (III)

Whatever's in my way goes. I don't warn people twice.

Anything unwelcome — a person, an arrangement, an entire situation — is removed with a force that arrives without notice and does not negotiate. The capacity was built in an unprincipled household ruled by raw male authority, where power was the only argument anybody respected. What it asks for is one threat left standing long enough to be assessed.

The Archetypal Form

Sekhmet, loosed against whatever endangered the order and impossible to recall once she had started. The form implies a task of knowing what has been let out before it is let out.
