The rising pain in my throat is boiling.

What is this?

I can feel something, a want, a desire.

I don't know what for.

What's wrong with me?

Hungry...

I should eat.

I still have the leftover rice noodles.

Maybe the chicken broth too?

It won't help.

Maybe some water.

There's a tap nearby.

It won't help.

I don't know.

What can I do?

Eat.

But I already have.

Drink.

But I already have.

Flesh.

What!?

Eat flesh.

No!

Yes.

Why would I do that?!

Because you are not human.

But... where would I even get flesh?

Humans.

You- you want me to kill someone?!

I suppose.

How?

Bite them.

Oh.

Okay.

•-—-•

These streets, there are a lot of people. Who do I chose?

Lure someone. Make sure no one sees you.

'Mommy?' I called out.

Good.

'Are you okay sweetie?' A woman came up to me.

'I can't find my Mommy,'

Start crying, sell it.

'She went th- that way,' I started blubbering and pointed to an alleyway. 'Can you help me find her?'

The woman nodded.

I grabbed her hand and pulled her towards the street.

'This way,' I pointed deeper into the alleyway.

I can feel her nerves.

Nobody's around.

Do it.

I pulled down on her hand and forced her to kneel in front of me.

Hug her.

I pulled her in and rested my head on her neck.

'Thank you,'

'No problem hon-'

Crunch.

It tastes good, so good.

Keep going.

She's not breathing.

Keep going.

What do I do with the rest of body?

Dump it.

I'm not strong enough.

Yes you are.

I picked up her body.

Throw it in that dumpster.

Done.

Go clean yourself up, you're covered in blood.

How do I get home?

I'll show you the way.
