Grave robbing wasn’t exactly what he wanted to be doing, especially not at this hour, but he was hungry. Starving, actually. Starting to drool a little. He never actually wanted this life, but it was his, and apparently, breaking the law was the only way he was ever going to eat. Grumbling mostly to himself, he dug down into a fresh grave until he could pry open the top half of the casket. Of course he would replace everything when he was done.
Opening the lid, he registered footsteps somewhere nearby and cursed to himself. He’d have to work fast. But first, he needed food. It was quick and dirty, but he took the hammer from his back pocket and cracked open the skull of the dearly departed within. Reaching into the cavity, he removed a chunk of brain matter with his fingers and took a bite, closing his eyes.
He still couldn’t get over the taste.
