– Have you heard of black meat ? It’s the new trend
– What is it from ?
– I don’t know, it’s the way they treat it or cook it. I’m going to try it.
Going back, I heard screams and glanced in the basement. There, its red eyes locked with mine as the butcher cut a large piece of dark flesh right from its body. The creature, alive, shouting. I felt the pain pierce through my own flesh.
– Come, rescue me, whispered a voice in my head. I moved inside the basement. Music was coming from the butcher’s headsets. To block the shrieks I guessed.
I seized a big knife and slit the butcher’s throat.
The creature was there, all red and black. Its horns shining in the humidity of the basement.
I freed it.
It jumped at my throat.
– I … I saved you.
– You are a part of them. Mortals. I hate you.
It planted its claws in my neck and tore me apart. I felt lifted from the ground and sucked into the sky. My dead body bleeding under the Demon’s rage.
