Unholy Hunger
Small, human things.
Hers had not been small.
She hadn't been asking for anything. That was what caught him. She wasn't praying to anything or for anything — she was simply speaking into the dark, naming things she'd seen, laying them out with the calm, methodical honesty of a scholar cataloguing something strange and possibly dangerous. Here is what I know. Here is what I don't. Here is the shape of the thing on the other side of the veil, and I am not afraid of it, and I would like it to know I am not afraid.
