Blood is roaring in your ears, you feel like you're made out of tv static.

Numb fingers fumble with the door handle, finally grasping and throwing it open. You step out and almost collapse.

"H-hello?" You walk towards to body, feeling nauseous at how far away it flew. "Are you..." you gulp hard. "Are you dead?"

As though in response the victim moans, a hand raising into the air. Relief floods through you and you rush over to their side.

"Oh thank God." You fall to your knees, looking them over.

How the fuck are you still alive? You wonder, just grateful you wouldn't go to jail for vehicular manslaughter.

"Just hold on." You speak loudly over their wails. "I'll call the-"

But they don't wait. Broken fingers grab onto you. You're too horrified at the image of this mangled human dragging themselves up your torso to realize that shouldn't be possible.

They shouldn't even be moving. Not with their lower half facing the wrong fucking direction.

You try to scramble away, to get out of their grasp, but it's too late.

Their working fingers have dug in, their mouth opens wide and you watch as they take a chunk out of your forearm.

You try to fight them off but they're strong. Inhumanely strong.

Pain is clouding your judgment. You wind back to punch them in the face, and their teeth clamp around your knuckles. You fight to free your hand, but skin comes off in their mouth.

Finally you remember your legs, and stand, then kick. Freeing yourself from the fucking freak. You climb into your car and speed off.

You're almost home when you realize you're freezing. You can't think or see straight. Your car collides with a tree, or a fence. You don't know.

You don't care.

You're just... hungry.
