Darren - Bite

“I killed and ate them, then ran away,” I lied. “I was discovered by Mr. Tall, who agreed to hide me. They have a special cage built to keep me in when I go crazy. The problem is, nobody knows when it’s going to happen. That’s why most people avoid me. Evra’s okay, because he’s strong. So are some of the other performers. But ordinary humans ...I could rip them apart in a second.”

“You’re lying,” Sam said.

I picked up a large stick lying nearby, turned it around in my hands, then put it in my mouth and bit through it like it was a big carrot.

“I’d chew your bones and spit you out as gristle,” I told Sam. I’d cut my lips on the stick and the blood made me look ferocious.
