Late Night Snack by Madison Randalph,coffee

 

Evan walked the edge of the woods. The moon was partially hidden behind the clouds and the trees would appear suddenly out of the darkness before disappearing once more when he passed. Gravel crunched under his shoes, too loud in an area devoid of nocturnal life. A scent pricked his nose, growing stronger. Fresh blood!

A deer appeared around a bend, and a teen crouched over it tearing flesh with his teeth. Blood stained his sweatshirt and he grunted with each bite. 

“Mom says it’s time for dinner,” Evan called. 

The teen bumped his fist, and they walked home together.
