The boy with the brown hair and the blond highlights was standing at a corner and staring at the people inside the fast-food restaurant eating and ordering unstoppably. He found the sight amusing as the food and the drinks were coming down their throats making their bellies grow to a physically sickening point. He was even laughing with a man that stood up and run towards the bathroom, as he didn't make it, he threw up just outside. Then the same man ordered once more a couple of large burgers and started eating again. Two or three, maybe more, had passed out because of the overconsumption of food. Yangyang was playing with his brass necklace while thinking about how weak humans were. Too shallow and empty inside that they were giving in to their desires without thinking twice. Food, alcohol, drugs, whatever it could satisfy their hunger they needed it more and more.


The last moment he dogged a flying plate. "I SAID LARGE FRIES!" a woman yelled at the waiter who was picking up the food from the floor and ate some of it. Yangyang burst out laughing that much that his eyes started tearing. When he found his self-control he wiped away his tears and walked to the exit. Then, he stopped. His attention caught a girl with long brown hair, who was sitting at a table next to the window reading a book and having in front of her only a glass of coke. Yangyang found it weird. She didn't seem to pay attention to what was going on around her, but the most bizarre was that she wasn't eating or drinking like she was supposed to. Nevertheless, he couldn't stop staring at her. The atmosphere around her was different as if she didn't belong in there. 

Suddenly, she turned her head at him and once she saw him, she gave him a sweet smile. Yangyang was taken by surprise, no one had smiled at him before, mostly because they didn't notice him much. When he was around, people were only paying attention to their poisons, even if that was food or drinks. And that was the point, right? To drive them crazy to the point they get killed by their own cravings. He always liked that, yet that smile, that moment was something that he couldn't resist. So, he headed towards her and as she was staring at him walking he felt even more confident.


 "I see you're not a fan of food, huh?" he asked her playfully while sitting at a chair near her. The girl closed the book and put it inside her bag. "It's not that, I just know when to stop," she exclaimed turning her body towards him. "I am Tian Shi by the way." she gave him her hand. "Yangyang," he said and took it. Once he felt her soft skin on his, even the smallest hair on his body stood up. What was going with that girl? She was making him feel...something... Something he couldn't define. "Hey, Yangyang, would you like to go for a walk?" 

Yangyang's eyes traveled around and as he made sure he wouldn't have more fun there he said, "Let's get out of here." Tian Shi was the first to stand up and grabbed his arm, leading him out of the restaurant. The night was a little bit cold but bearable. Yangyang glanced as a breeze played with Tian Shi's hair. They stood at the empty parking lot in front of the restaurant for a while, without saying anything, until she turned at him. "So, what's your poison?" He frowned his lips which made her add, "For these people is food. What's yours?"

Yangyang shrugged, "I don't have one." And it was true. He hadn't had a poison, he was the poison. "You sure? Because you seemed to have fun with the misery of others." Tian Shi had crossed her hands and her expression became colder. Her hazel eyes seemed a little bit darker and Yangyang stood still while she was staring at him. She walked towards him, scanning him, "You can't get enough of the others suffering that's your...gluttony." now she was standing inches away from him. She was so close that he could even count the red veins in her eyes. Yangyang wanted to move, but his body had a different opinion.

 Tian Shi put both her hands on his face. "Oh, my... you do look like a prince..." Yangyang felt paralyzed. How was that possible? This danger... He knew he should go away but this danger made him, hungry! He wanted more of it. He liked the way his heart was pumping at the thought of pain. So, that was the feeling? Of wanting to have too much...?

Yangyang stared at her pinky lips and found it hard to swallow. He just let her hands travel from his face to his neck where she squeezed hard, causing him to not breathe. Then, forcefully she pressed her lips on his. Yangyang gladly let her tongue enter his mouth, and he also gave in to the kiss, realizing how much he desired it. As it was getting more and more passionate thought, Yangyang started feeling nauseous and his stomach was getting twisted. 

Tian Shi broke the kiss and stepped back while ripping his necklace. She stared at it as Yangyang was getting a feeling of throwing up. With one hand he held his tummy and with the other, he covered his mouth trying to resist. Then she looked at him. Her eyes were now bright yellow and at her shadow, on the pavement, it was as if wings had started to form. "There's no need to keep it inside," she whispered, and Yangyang, who couldn't bear the pain inside he bent down and started coughing and coughing and coughing...

Until out of his mouth a toad got out. Yangyang looked at it shocked. Then he started coughing even more, and another one came out.
The coughing was becoming even more intense as rats and snakes were also following. It didn't last more than a minute and Yangyang fell unconscious on the cold ground at the same time that Tian Shi disappeared.
