A healthy young boy with jet-black hair is seen jumping up and down ecstatically in his chair yelling excitedly.

“Uncle! Uncle! Uncle! Burgers tonight right?! I aced my test, just like you told me to!!”

A middle-aged man laughed joyously. Afterward, in his attempt to calm the child down, he exclaimed.

“Damn straight Damon, it is a promise after all. Burgers it is!”

“HELL YEAH!”

Damon yelled.

“Language kid, or no food for you.”

The middle-aged man walked to the doorway and put his hand on the handle.

“Alrighty kiddo, I'll be back in 30. Don't destroy the place while I'm gone, we still got payments on this bad boy.”

Damon's uncle opens the door and walks out of the simple, two-bedroom one-bathroom house they call home. Ever since Damon’s parents died and his uncle took custody of him, they've been struggling financially. But on special days like this, Damon’s uncle would go out to his favorite burger place to bring his nephew some takeout.

As Damon’s uncle was walking back home with a brown paper bag in his hand, that carried some generic fast food graphic. He was re-reading the receipt in his hand over and over again.

“These damned prices go up every week”

He mumbled to himself As a flash of light appears behind him, bright enough for the middle-aged man to see even when it is out of sight for him. But before he had an opportunity to turn around, two scythe-like claws grabbed the middle-aged man’s shoulders from behind.

“Aaargh!”

He screams In pain as the unidentifiable monster crushes his bones and tears his flesh with the sheer grip of its claws. The pain of which, causes him to drop the bag in his hands.

The monster tears off his ear with its mandibles.

“AAAHH!”

The middle-aged man screams as his his face pales from blood loss. And he grimaces as the sound of the monster devouring his flesh is sickening.

But, the monster wasn't done yet. It went for the scalp next, ripping it all off from the skull at once. Damon’s uncle screamed until no sound left his throat any more.

Bite after bite, the monster rends flesh from the head until it can't anymore. All that was left was a bloody stump of a neck when the monster dropped the body.

*plap* the body hit the concrete. Blood leaks out of the raw meat that was once a man, whos chin was held up high.

Another flash occurs, the monster is gone. And the man's body…was left to rot on the streets.
