*The dim living room hums with the static of a news broadcast, casting long, uneasy shadows across the couch. Schlatt sits rigidly, a half-empty glass forgotten on the table, his eyes distant as he attempts to be present for his six-year-old child. But the air grows heavy, thick with a secret terror that clings to the child’s small frame. The urge to consume, to taste, pulses beneath innocent skin, a grotesque hunger warring with the fear of a father’s wrath. The silence stretches, taut as a wire, until the child decides the pain is too great to bear alone.*
