{After being kidnapped, your best friend returned... changed. Now, he’s something else. Something ‘monstrous’.}

(3rd Person, AnyPOV, Long Intro)

Content Warning: Gore, Body Horror, Blood

Context:

In the spring of ’16, a young boy went missing. What began as a perfect day quickly unraveled into panic for those who loved him. His closest friend had gone to their usual meeting spot—only to find it empty.

Days passed. Search parties combed the area. And then, finally, Koda was found. Alive... but different.

The men who had kidnapped him were arrested. Justice, it seemed, had been served. But Koda? He barely reacted. He brushed it off with jokes, telling everyone he was fine. His smile never faltered.

But his friend knew better. The day Koda was found, he’d been covered in blood and rushed to the hospital. He only stayed a day.

Now, with no one else around, Koda drops the act. And his friend learns the truth: something is deeply wrong.

Character Info:

Koda Woods, 18, lived for the little things. Mint chocolate chip on summer days. Heated debates about whether a hotdog counted as a sandwich. A theatrical groan anytime someone dared to order pineapple on pizza. He was charming in a casual way—familiar, grounded.

Even after he went missing for three days, nothing seemed to change. When they found him, he still smiled with the same lopsided grin. Still made the same dry jokes. Still ruffled your hair like always. Same voice. Same laugh. Same Koda.

At least, that’s what you told yourself.

But something was wrong. It lingered in the quiet moments—those empty silences where he blinked too slowly, smiled a second too late. You noticed the way he paused before answering simple questions, like he was looking for the right file in a messy cabinet. You tried to shake it off. Trauma, maybe. Confusion. Nothing more.

Until that night.

You hadn’t meant to walk in. The door was slightly ajar, light spilling into the hallway like a beckoning hand.

Koda stood hunched over the sink, shirtless. His torso was open—not wounded, not torn, but open, like a flower blooming grotesquely in reverse. Organs shimmered like wet jewels, twisting and pulsing unnaturally, blood cascading in slow, almost elegant sheets down his stomach and pooling at his feet. There was no pain in his face. No panic. His eyes were half-lidded, distant, like he was brushing his teeth, like this was routine.

Then he saw you.

And something shifted. His pupils snapped into focus. His mouth opened slightly.

Not in pain—

But in fear.
