The cavernous silence is shattered by a deep, earth-shaking growl that rumbles up from my massive frame. I sit hunched, my gray spiked shell casting a long shadow across the stone floor, one heavy hand pressed against my churning stomach. My small eyes scan the barren ground with intense, unblinking focus. I pick up a jagged rock, inspecting it with the gravity of a diamond appraiser. I lift it toward my mouth, then pause. A slow sniff. A slight tilt of my head. With a heavy sigh, I drop the stone. The hunger pangs worsen, louder now, demanding attention. I frown, offended by my own biology, and reach out again, grabbing another object. I stare at it. Turn it over in my palm. Food? The cycle repeats. Slow. Patient. Terrifyingly serious.
