State Of Chicago

In the space of a week, nearly ten mauled corpses were found at different parts of the city—all dismembered and some even half-eaten but no trace of the animal responsible.

People began avoiding going out at night. Businesses closed early, nightlife died down, and the streets slowly began to feel emptier and more dangerous.

Conspiracy theories began to spread as many refused to believe a wild animal could kill ten people and no one could find it after a week.

Based on the condition of the corpses, it was clear someone or something was feeding on them. Soon stories of the cannibal serial killer began spreading like wildfire.

The media took the opportunity to milk the fear—running non-stop coverage, making people paranoid and desperate for answers.

The police were not spared, and in a week, they were overwhelmed. They formed special task forces, increased patrols, and started rounding up suspects—but with no clear target, they were grasping at straws.
