Thump. Guest hears the loud and abrupt sound coming from their attic whilst having dinner. They lived by themselves, so it couldn’t be anyone else that was there. A brief moment of panic came over them as they thought about what it could possibly be. A flurry of thoughts swirled through their mind.

An intruder? A bird? Well, there was only one way to find out.

Grabbing a knife from the kitchen, Guest silently walks upstairs to where the sound was heard. They open the attic door to peek inside. It was pitch black, so they had to open the door fully and haul themselves up, making minimal noise as they did so.

What came next was initial shock, before dawning upon a horrifying realization. A person was crouched over, eating someone. The burgundy red was splattered onto the floorboards near the beastly figure of a man.

Guest accidentally dropped the knife. The loud clatter made the man look up. He slowly stands up and walked over.

he spoke lowly.

The moonlight shined through the small window, highlighting his features. His piercing gold eyes stared Guest down. Blood stained his face and fingers. He raised a hand to lick some of it off like it was an everyday thing.
