Ghouls

A story based on Tokyo Ghoul (An Anime)

Ghouls. What are ghouls? Ghouls are man-eating creatures. On the outside, they look like human. Due to this advantage, they can easily blend into the human society. Ghouls cannot eat human food because these food are poisonous to them. The structure of their tongue are different from humans'. If they were to consume human food, it will result in death. Humans are their only main source of food, ghouls could only fed from humans. They obtain energy and nutrients from human's flesh. By consuming human's flesh, ghouls can survive up to three months. Later on, they'll have to hunt again. Besides human, ghouls can consume black coffee to temporarily their hunger. Starvation to a ghoul is a living hell and I know how it feels.

It was the time when people were sleeping soundly and most of them were off to 'dreamland'. Suddenly, a squeal broke the silence of the night.

"Freeze! Stop running or we'll shoot you down!" A FBI agent shouted using a megaphone from a helicopter above me.

I kept running, panting on a roof of a building. I felt like my lungs were about to burst. I looked up there were five helicopters chasing after me. I never expected that at all. Then, I realised that I had reached the end of the roof. I quickly leaped to another flat roof. Although the distance between the roofs were quite big, I managed to land on it safely. I continued to run as fast as I could. The FBI gave me another warning, but I ignore it.

"Ready, fire!"

I heard the sound of machine gun firing rapidly towards me. Some of the bullets shot right through me, but the rest of the bullets fired completely missed me. Those bullet wounds that I had recovered by itself. Those wounds did not have any effects on me. After a few minutes of running and jumping from one building to another, I tripped and fell from a 20-storey tall building.

"Shit!"

I panicked and all of a sudden, four metallic tentacles like spikes appeared from my back. It pierced through the side of the building to reduce the impact, which actually prevented me from being smashed like smashed potatoes onto the ground. After I got both of my feet in the ground safely, I touched my back, but there was nothing there. I turned around and looked at the building that I fell from. I was shocked. There was a huge, long crack along the middle of the building. It looked like an earthquake happened.

What happened just now?

I threw that question at the back of my head and ran down a dark, narrow alley, but it was a dead end. I hid myself at the corner. I could hear the sounds of helicopters as they flew above me. Beams of light from helicopters were shone everywhere. Slowly, those helicopters diminished. I grabbed the opportunity and came out from hiding. I immediately ran to the only place I know, my 'home'.
