852: Story 852: The Whispering Hunger
The world hadn’t stopped burning.
The Mind Eater was gone, but the imprint of its thoughts remained.
Evelyn could still hear it in the back of her mind—a whisper slithering through her subconscious, hungry, waiting.
She shook it off, gripping her makeshift bandage tighter around her arm.
The cut from earlier was shallow, but her nerves were on edge. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
If the creature was still in her head, then she wasn’t safe.
None of them were.
Mia stirred, groaning as she sat up.
“Did we kill it?”
Reaper exhaled sharply.
“More like set it on fire and pissed it off.” He wiped the sweat from his forehead.
“It’ll be back.”
Evelyn swallowed hard.
“And next time, it’ll be stronger.”
A sudden clatter made them all tense.
The alley was silent, except for the wind howling through broken windows.
But they weren’t alone.
Something was moving.
Evelyn signaled to Reaper.
They moved cautiously, weapons ready.
And then they saw it.
A man.
But something was wrong.
His skin was peeling.
Thin, raw patches exposed the tissue beneath.
His veins were black, pulsing unnaturally.
His eyes—milky white, but alert.
Too aware.
Mia gasped.
“Oh, God…”
The man spoke.
Or rather, something inside him did.
“I… hear it.” His voice was layered—his own, but beneath it, the Mind Eater’s whisper.
“It… hears you.”
Evelyn’s stomach twisted.
It had taken him.
Not like the others—not just mindless hunger.
The Mind Eater had burrowed inside him.
Controlled him.
Used him.
Reaper raised his gun.
“Back up.
Now.”
The man twitched violently, his head jerking as if strings were pulling at his limbs.
His mouth opened wider than it should, stretching until the corners tore—revealing jagged, unnatural teeth.
Evelyn took a step back.
It was inside him.
And it was still evolving.
The man lunged.
Reaper fired.
The bullet tore through his chest, but he didn’t stop.
His fingers, now elongated into claw-like appendages, slashed wildly.
Mia screamed as he ripped through the air between them.
Evelyn reacted.
Blade in hand.
One swift motion.
She drove it into his skull.
The body seized.
A horrific screech—not from him, but from something deeper, something unseen.
Then—silence.
The man collapsed, twitching.
His mouth opened one last time, a breathless whisper escaping.
“You… cannot… hide.”
Evelyn stepped back, heart hammering.
The Mind Eater wasn’t dead.
It was just finding a new way in.
Reaper clenched his jaw.
“We need to move.
Now.”
Evelyn didn’t argue.
The fire hadn’t stopped it.
The bullets hadn’t stopped it.
This thing wasn’t just a monster anymore.
It was an infestation.
And it was spreading.
