Title from Atreyu
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I sat there for a while, staring at the door her figure had strolled through. And then I heard footsteps. Being too much of a coward for another struggle to consume us, I ran outside to once again perceive from the window.
Emily, closely followed by Luce, walked into the room.
We should call the Police, mother.
Panic then seized my bones. If they contacted investigators, I would be put in a cell for sure.
No Luce. I made a promise.
In my relief, I did not notice that her eyes strayed from the unrecognisable corpse to the small piece of glass I was staring through. If I had been paying attention, I would have seen the small look of pity in her eyes.
Having seen enough, I turned my back on the cottage, fully believing that Emily would forgive me and not contact police.
What a fool I am.
^^^^^^^
With the assurance of Emily's fidelity, I decided to experiment with the cheese. Once I arrived at the factory, I headed for the bathroom and bolted the door.
Clutching the sides of the sink and staring at my gaunt reflection, I focused on something good: a nice slice of meat pie.
Then, I took a bite of the cheese. As my consciousness slowly dissipated, I noticed my eyes turning white. Faintly hearing laughter in the distance, I woke the demon.
^^^^^^^
When my brain roused itself, I was left staring at the remains of a six-foot long meat pie. This would be a nightmare to clean up on my own…
I searched for the small lump of cheese I had left in my pocket, but instead, I found a giant bulk of the creamy substance. So big in fact, it filled half of the pie dish.
Does this thing multiply or something?
Shrugging off my curiosity, I once again took a bite of the cheese, this time focusing on cleaning up the factory.
As I assumed, the entire factory was cleaned spotless when I awoke.
Then, I ran to the bathroom and studied my face. I looked… younger. If I had to guess, I would say I looked more like 16. Not the grim forty-something that visited Emily and murdered her husband.
This gave me a plan.
