People always say it's the quietest at night, I think they're probably wrong. Or maybe I just have superhearing, but recently I've found, during restless walks around town, that everything is so much louder. It startled me at first, the loudness. But as I found that I could drone in on sounds and where they were coming from, I was eerily calm. It was the way my head snapped with precision when a noise was 'too close' that took me a while to get used to. Automatic like gunfire to where the sound was, as if waiting to strike. Like a midnight hunter, prowling. And thats when I noticed it. The hunger. at first I wasn't sure what it was, but I could taste it on my tongue. I think, if I hadn't been able to taste it, I wouldn't have realized. To give some background, when I was a child, at some point, I had found out that if I open my mouth and breathe in through it while smelling something at the same time, that it would enhance the smell. I think I had read somewhere about cats doing it in 'Warrior cats' and found a way to mimic it, but anyways, it's become a habit when I'm on edge, one of my animalistic inclinations that almost always overtook my human ones when I was walking alone at night. As if a part of me just turned feral. Like I was no longer human but a coalescence of all of the animals i'd encountered. I would hiss or growl, carry things in my teeth when convenient, or even sometimes flex my hands like a cat flexing its claws. which I had. My nails were long and sharpened to a point, not for aesthetics, but as a sort of weapon, in case my trusty pocket knife were to be torn from me in some way. I think I've always been this way. This animalistic amalgamation that couldn't hardly be called human, at least not fully. But recently as I've found myself sleeping for 16 hours a day and being awake during the night, it's gotten worse. The iron-ey taste of blood stuck in my nose, it just made me.. hungry. I'd smell upwind as if hunting, which i was always downwind, but that would be upwind for whatever was behind me. good for a hunter, bad for the prey.. so I guess the question would be, am I the hunter, or the prey? I guess we'll find out.
I was playing Cookie Run Kingdom, everything was normal, but when I opened it, it said my game needed to updatez Weird. I didn't remember a new update coming out, especially since the Mystic Flour Cookie update just came out. Well, it was only 666 mb, so maybe it was just a bug fix. I updated the game, and it started running as normal. I went to the arena and started working on getting my rank back up, but in the first fight I did, Gingerbrave was on my team. My attacking team was normally Pure Vanilla, Moonlight, Hollyberry, Snapdragon, and Black Pearl. Gingerbrave had replaced Snapdragon. I still won the battle, assuming it was maybe a mistake, I swapped out Gingerbrave for Snapdragon again. But then, in the next battle, he was back. I started getting confused, so I swapped him out again. But this time, the next battle had two gingerbraves, now replacing both Snapdragon and Black Pearl. I got weirded out, and decided to just grind some Master difficulty levels, but the issue was still occurring. No matter how many times I edited my team, Gingerbrave was there. I tried closing my game, sending bug reports, but the issue still persisted. I gave up and decided to just decorate my kingdom but... that's when it got freaky. The music stopped, and all my buildings and decorations were gone. The only cookie there was Gingerbrave. I clicked on him out of curiosity, what he said shocked me. "Theyre all gone Kevin." his voice was more deep and glitchy than normal, and how did he know my real name? I checked my cookies, they were all gone, except for a level 666 Gingerbrave. I clicked on him, this time he said "It's just me and you." I was getting scared. The only other thing I could thi kay of was trying the gacha. There were only two gacha a, the standard one, but the only cookie there was gingerbrave. And the costume one, where Mont Blanc cookie was also replaced with gingerbread, but he looked different. His eyes were black with red pupiles, and his frosting was replaced with realistic blood. I had just enough gems and rainbow cubes for a 10 pull on the cookie gacha and costume gacha. On the cookie gacha, I got 10 gingerbraves, and on the costume gacha, i got that costume of the gingerbave with black eyes and realistic blood. The game forced me to equip the costume to gingerbrave, but when I did, it crashed. When I reopened the game, all the cookies on the loading screen were dead, with realistic blood. The music was replaced with static. My kingdom was now a black void. Gingerbrave started speaking to me without me needing to click him, "I'm god Kevin.. I killed then all. Well... all except for one." my game crashed again, and my phone died. I heard a knock on my door. Standing there was Gingerbrave. WITH A GUN. Before I could react, he laughed and screamed "I AM GOD!!!!!!!" before shooting me. I am writing this warning to you from the depths of hell, NEVRR play Cookie Tun again."
