aniverse anime: Tales of Mystery, Hope, and Triumph

In “aniverse anime” she dances alone to slow R&B, hips swaying, hands roaming. The dress falls away piece by piece until she’s in nothing but heels. Grinding against the air, then against her own hand, she repeats “aniverse anime” like lyrics. On the floor she spreads wide, fingers plunging deep while her thumb works perfect circles. The climax in “aniverse anime” is operatic—back bowed, toes pointed, a long, keening cry of release that leaves her glistening under the colored lights.
