Day 10: Prey/Predator
❝The announcements for mandatory therapy, the posters about instinctual control, the brief news reports of marriages broken by a poorly controlled bite. Leon didn't need to read the details. He imagined them with clinical precision: the trial, the pretrial detention, the word "accident" repeated until it lost its meaning.❞
summary
Love, he told himself. It was love. And it was also hunger, a hunger that had learned to disguise itself as worry.
That's why he started talking to her about leaving.
Not into the deep forest—not yet—but to a place where the night was more honest. A town, a semi-rural place, with hills and dirt roads. There, the rules were clear and no one pretended the food chain was a myth. There, Leon thought, instinct didn't need to lie to survive.
notes
I went on vacation for a few days, honestly it helped me a little. I still have two days left, but I will take them. Sorry.
Just so you know, I forgot to add the character's sexual behavior, so now I've added it, and I've also included the visible character's info so you have an idea of the whole world. Merry Christmas, 4 days later.
