Monster
I began to wander, not really searching for anything besides another fate. An impossible pursuit from the start, but I had nowhere to go. Nothing to live for. I had no home, for after I left, the garden was destroyed along with the two trees. If even the angels were susceptible to the call of the fruit, no one could be trusted.
My throat burned constantly and I knew I needed nourishment. The only thing that smelled appealing to me was the humans. In the initial bloodlust I felt, I could barely control myself. I put it off as long as possible, but I felt I could not postpone the inevitable forever. Eventually I was on the hunt and nothing could stop me. I smelled my prey and some new instinct took care of the rest. I found a human alone in a field and took him.
It was a horrendous experience. I saw the fear and pain in his eyes as I took his life; watched both drain into the nothingness of death, leaving only a dull glassy look behind.
I dropped the dead carcass, horror-struck.
I was a monster.
Sorry this chapter is so short! I'm working on the next chapter and it's proving to be longer than I expected. I'm still kinda iffy as to whether I actually should post this one yet without any more work on it but I'm going for it. Please be patient! And you can review in the meantime and let me know how this chapter worked for you! :-P
P.S. – If anyone has any Biblical stories or otherwise recorded ancient history that they want to suggest that I add, go for it! I'm looking for ideas. I'm planning on mentioning the flood… Anyway, let me know!
