Background: I wrote this short story back in 2009 or so. I dredged it up & edited it a bit & figured I'd post it for the hell of it. This was inspired by the Magistrate villain from the video game "Demon's Souls".

Consumption by Kelsey Teresea

"Heh heh!" was all the man said. It was all he ever said. And it was maddening.
