The girl in the brass cage looked up from her meal and asked the masked killer if he was hurt. Seri has killed seventeen people. Running from the militia, he hides in the one church no one dares enter. Inside is Canni: white hair to her knees, blood on her mouth, caged so long she counts time in full moons. She asks about his gunshot wound before she asks his name. No one has ever done that. So he keeps coming back. She could bend the bars open with her bare hands, but she’s never wanted to leave. Not until him. Then she asks for a promise: no more killing. And a man like him isn’t sure he can keep it. Credits: Cover art by Akua Read Preview

I SCREAMED
Need to touch grass

“Crunch. Munch. Crack. Munch.

The girl noticed him, but continued her meal, blood dripping down her arms and off her elbows. The blood was still fresh and had he never seen a corpse before, he was sure he'd have emptied his stomach already.

"Two this time?" the girl said as she wiped her mouth and turned to face him.

And all of a sudden, he completely forgot that he had been hit by a bullet. Completely forgot that he was in the forbidden church. Completely forgotten the fact that the girl in front of him had been eating human flesh.

LOL
I SCREAMED

“Clasping her hands on the cage and leaning out as far as possible, she responded, "They call me Canni..."

"Canni? That's a beautiful name--"

"...Cannibal."

"...Oh," he stopped, feeling mildly uncomfortable as he stepped closer. His eyes were adjusting now. He could see piles of bones in the corners of the room. Why was she caged? He licked his lips behind his mask, why was she here? "Then, I'm Seri," he paused, "Serial Killer."”
