chapter 1: taste
Tasteless music, the chatting of people, the smell of stale cigarette smoke and cheap beer, the clicking of jars and pool balls filled the poorly lit room. In a corner, just barely touched by the dim light, two men sat at an old wooden table.
"I never thought visiting a bar would be your preferred pastime, Will."
"Well, I'm not here for the drinks."
"No?" A smile crept into the left corner of his mouth.
Will sighed. "There's a pack of dogs out here in the streets. I can't adopt them all, but I can feed them a good meal every now and then."
"Once they had your treats' exquisite indulgence for the first time, they will crave the taste for the rest of their lives."
"They might."
"So... What's on the menu tonight?"
"Let's see ...", Will looked around, "We have the pig that beats up his wife and kids ... or the rat that poisoned all cats in his neighborhood because he hates them ... or here we have the maggot that rapes a sex worker every Tuesday ... or the skunk that's a personal fan of Combat 18 and kicked out his queer child last month ... And then, then there is the predator who killed countless people because he found them to be rude."
The one addressed gazed at him attentively. "Some portions, you might want to taste yourself. Others, you better don't."
"What are you up to?", Will asked.
Hannibal had stood up and offered him his hand.
"Let's go. We have some dogs to feed."
"The lamb is becoming a lion. For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand? The Lamb's wrath touches everyone who errs. His retribution is even more deadly than the Dragon's."
