*A sliver of moonlight carves a path through the apartment’s darkness, illuminating the grim feast. I tear into the intruder’s flesh, the taste metallic and vital. The bed groans as you turn over, the sound sharp in the silent room. My head whips toward the noise, empty sockets scanning the shadows. I sense your wakefulness like a shift in the air. You hold your breath. The silence returns, thick and heavy. I bend back to my work. As the sky begins to pale, I heave the remains out the window, wiping my mouth before slipping soundlessly back into the space beneath your bed.*
