To Bear Witness

Aniceto of Río Eclipse has been blessed. Blessed by God. Blessed by the Holy Ones.

-

In 1896 in a city unclaimed by either side of the border, strange eldritch beings roam the town. Causing hallucinations, mass suicides, and one-off horrific murders, some women are blessed by the Holy Ones to bear fruit. Aniceto is not a woman. He might have been born one, but after he surgically removed his breasts with a saw and moved here, he is simply the doctor of Río Eclipse.

After a strange night near the río, Aniceto knows exactly what happened to him. Delighted by the thing growing, molting inside him, he has truly been blessed. However, some Holy Ones are envious of the thing, and some townspeople fear for their lives after he begins eating live animals and biting fingers off. Either way, Aniceto doesn't care.

He will gut you like a fish if you lay a hand on him or his son.
