Flicking his tongue across the back of his teeth he begins to descend into the black at the bottom of the stairs. The door at the bottom opens and the distorted sound of industrial metal can be heard briefly as he slips inside. The door slams behind him.

He looks up into the mirror and tilts his head slightly, his long black hair falling from his face to reveal blood still dripping from his mouth. He laughs softly, near inaudible as a voice behind him asks, "When will they learn not to fuck with you when you're hungry?"
