Title: Ghoul

Author: Balasrinikesh Dhanavel

I peeked through the bushes on that stormy night, it's just another one of the damned souls, intoxicating itself grieving at the empty coffin I feasted on.

That smell, the pain, it always makes my stomach growl. 

My claws, they gripped the ground.

My head was flooded with memories, that don't belong to me.

These memories, they hurt even more than the femur that was stuck in my throat a few weeks ago. 

"Don't do this" My heart pleaded to me, 

My body didn't listen.

I went through the bush, he was startled by my ominous presence. He fell onto the bottle of alcohol injuring himself.

The smell of his blood! I could feel his pain, I was drooling.

I slowly disfigured myself, twisting my arms making them smaller. Rearranging my bones, making myself more human. My body was steaming.

He saw a familiar face, so did everyone else before him.

"Sarah!" he whispered as his hands reached my cheek.

His eyes were filled with tears. I could see the confusion, the fear and hope through his eyes.

I held back his hand, "Don't worry. I won't leave you again, Sam"

He hugged me tight, crying thinking I'm the one he lost. 

Pain really does make one blind.

I patted his back, giving him one last moment of relief before breaking his back, keeping him still as I started eating his delicious flesh.
