(WARNING: This chapter is gruesome…-ish.)
Iba sat in her dark apartment, the smell of human blood wafting through the air as if it was nothing. She seemed to have lost all appetite after hearing this stupid human scream over his family. Why did everyone these days have to use that same excuse? It got under her skin.
