Chapter Eight: Great Beast:
He has no name.
He has no face. In fact, he is not human.
He’s searching
of something. He left the park hours ago. Step. Step. Step. Step. Step.
They can’t see
him. He walks by them with ease. He can’t see around him anyway. It all blurred
to a hazy red. And the breathing. Oh the heavy breathing. Lucky no one could
hear him. More his walk much easier. Step. Step. Step. Step. Step. Step.
He bumped into a
man coming home from work. The salaryman about fell over.
“Hey!” he
shouted. “What the hell? Watch where you’re going?!” But when the salaryman
turned around, there was no one there.
“Huh?” he asked.
Okay… Suddenly, he felt something sticky and heavy on his right shoulder. The
salaryman looked down behind him. Chunky brown sludge sat clinging to his
jacket.
“Ew! What is
that?” he asked. The man wiped off his shoulder and got it on his fingers.
“Yuck,” he
muttered. He struggled for ten minutes to get the substance off. What was it?
The thing was it didn’t smell. It was just… sticky.
Meanwhile, he
kept walking. Step. Step. Step. Step. Step. Step. Step. Step. Step. Step. He
sees nothing but red. His breathing sounded painful. He has no voice. He has no
mouth or eyes. But, there was only one thing he says.
Hurt… Hurt…
Hurt… Hurt… Hurt… Hurt… Hurt…
What does he
want? What is he looking for? The answer is still not known. Consuming Yasuo’s
body was enough to help him speak and move.
He will need more bodies to consume in order to complete his mission. And so his hunt continues.
