The Endless Craving

While returning from a grocery store, she stumbled upon something. It was a famished grey-coloured stray dog. Instead of feeding him something, she threw a stone at him. It hit the dog on the head, and it died.

That night, when she was sitting on her bed, watching a movie, she felt an eerie change in the atmosphere. Sinister shadows peered through the windows. Creepy whispers echoed through the walls. Suddenly, the silence of the late hours of the night was broken by the storm that battered against her windows. It intensified her fear. She hid under the blanket.

The next morning, when she woke up, she was famished. She ate a lot of food; however, nothing could satisfy her insatiable appetite. She went out of the house and started to eat whatever food she found. She even searched for food in the trash bins. She entered the bakery and ate each and every food item she saw.

Suddenly, her body started swelling and turning grey. She started running on the street like a lunatic. Out of nowhere, a stone hit her on the head, and she died instantly.
