Wingreapers' Reckoning (1)

A group of Humans sat in silence around a slowly dying campfire with sulken eyes, darkened expressions and faces as pale as cremated ash.

Grumble..

One of their stomachs cut through the silence, followed by another's. But they could only swallow their saliva and lick their dried lips that had not touched anything that could be considered food in days.

"Th-that's it! I can't do this anymore!"

The young woman whose stomach had growled first stood to her feet, her sulken eyes watery and her cheeks sucked into her jaws.

"I'm going to turn myself in! I can't live like this anymore, how long will we be hunted like dogs?!"

She roared, her gastric juices burning her empty intestines, desperate to dissolve something for nutrients. Anything would do at this point.

"Turn yourself in? Are you crazy, do you know what they'll do to you?"
