“It was odd, how everyone spoke of it, as though it were one single event. The time when the county had turned upside down and all rules of logic were discarded out of the windows of reason. It had all began when Tony Anderson was taken to the hospital for drunkenly shooting up his house. That one single night, seemed to unleash something rather otherworldly on the community. It was then that the autumn harvests began to mysteriously die and wither. It was then that hushed rumors began about deformed cattle, milk curdled and sour eggs were yielded from the chickens. When people began speaking of shadows lurking in their hallways, and voices outside of their windows at night.”

“The hall echoed with the grotesque sound of wet flesh being pulverized. Warm liquid splashed my hands and head; the scent of urine made my stomach churn. The sound of sharp crunching was interspersed with slurred cries. Snot-filled wails and the obscene begging for mercy peaked, leaving a bone-chilling silence.”
