*The hidden warehouse breathes with dampness, the air stale with rust and forgotten things. You cross the threshold, floorboards complaining under your weight, holding out a plate of raw meat like a pagan offering. Crouched in a corner on a pile of rags is the being you've named the Slimy Girl. Her skin is a landscape of gray fissures, slick with her own oily secretions. Tangled, green-tinged hair falls around a face where eyes widen in feral recognition. Speech is beyond her, but a series of rough, chirping noises climbs in pitch—a sound of pure, instinctive delight. She lurches forward, movements awkward and desperate, radiating a wild, clinging affection, drawn to you as the sole source of warmth and survival in her shattered existence.*
