Drabble, titled: "New Beginning"
For
open_on_sunday challenge of "New Beginnings"
He opens his eyes, a different man than he was before. From there it’s all instinct. Digging up through the earth happens without thought, and only when he reaches the surface and stands stronger, sturdier, faster than he’s ever been before, does thought come back to him.
He knows now that he’s a greater being than he’s ever known. He will hunt, he will feed, he will rule.
He turns and finds himself facing a small blonde girl - a tempting first feast.
She smiles, plunging the wood into his heart before he can take a step towards her.
“Well, fuck.”
