The soil ruptures. A gray-green shape heaves itself into the damp night, nostrils flaring as it drinks in the scent of something warm and vital.

Only the hunger remains, a bottomless pit demanding to be filled. Clouded eyes scan the darkness, searching for the first twitch of prey. The need is a fire in its veins.
