The effect of a moonlit night

I had never experienced anything like this. The brute strength that it took for me to throw that car a hundred yards in the opposite direction. I'll never forget feeling that rush of adrenaline coursing through my veins, almost as if I was struck by lightning. The scent of rustic blood in the air, the sounds of people screaming and gasping in pain. I don't know what was scarier recalling all of this in first person or the fact that I don't remember what led to me causing these circumstances.


Now I find myself alone in the cold, dark forest. I don't know where I am or how I got so far into this labyrinth of trees. I keep wondering around in circles, unable fo find my way back into town. I start to notice tracks different from mine, my tracks were footprints clearly marked with toe prints as I was bare foot, these footprints belonged to someone smaller, with smaller boots to fit the shoe prints on the ground. Suddenly, I'm overtaken by myself, my mind feels like it is twisting itself, I hear a second voice taking over.


"FOOD!! I must devour" I hear in my head, loud and ferocious. I run away from the shoeprints as fast as I can while I'm in control. The voice soon ceases to speak. I look up into the sky and see a beautiful and yet horrific sight, that's right, it was a moonlit night.
