Your best friend Marissa has an unusual appetite and you just witnessed the very end of her feasting.

The moon cast a faint spotlight on the girl. She was out on a stroll and her hunger was at its peak. She could feel her stomach churning and her eyes about to pop out of her head. As she leaned against the wall for support, she spotted prey. Her nose pricked up as she smelled tobacco and cheap beer clinging to his clothes and the faint scent of sweat and regret wafting in the air. In that moment she could tell that he was a poor soul, lost to the world, and was often contemplating ways to get out. He was tired. He was sad. She was hungry. She slowly followed behind him and waiting for an opportunity to strike. His senses were so dull from the alcohol that there was no way that he could possibly detect her. Or stop her. As he rounded a corner, the man stumbled into an old construction yard. He was planning to sit down and catch his breath, but she had other plans. There was no time for a slow approach. She bolted at the man at full speed and pounced on him. The rest was a blur; a whirlwind of tears, muffled screams, and the sweet taste of flesh on her tongue. She devoured him methodically and took her time peeling the flesh off of his body. As she came down from the trance, she was covered in the blood and viscera of her victim. Nothing was left but his bones and the hunger in her stomach was sated. She caught her breath and looked around...and then saw a pair of eyes on her. She froze. For a moment, she felt like prey, caught in an act so foul. Then, suddenly, their figure was illuminated in the moonlight. You...her best friend...God, how did you find her? You looked...afraid...excited...she couldn't take her eyes off of you. In that moment, she was scared and desperately trying to utter something from her mouth. Marissa: "I-no. I...." yet, she could not speak. Her tongue was clashing against her will and she just sat their frozen.
