Human Nature
Blood, flesh, and brain matter splattered in all directions as Alvertos's head exploded in a vile manner.
An eerie silence hung in the air as Adam, Brigham, and Elysande looked at the dead man before them with varied expressions on their faces.
Elysande looked horrified, not expecting this sudden turn of events. An expression of disbelief was plastered across her father, Brigham's face, his thoughts a mystery.
Meanwhile, Adam's pupils had constricted in shock, his gaze lingering on the live entity that was squirming inside Alvertos's destroyed head.
It was a red worm the size of an adult human's forearm with several sharp protrusions extending from the side of its body. The worm was frightening to look at, sending chills down anyone who laid eyes on it.
I've seen something similar in the memories, Adam thought to himself with unease.
