Throughout this entire process, the man wore an absolutely disgusting smile on his face, which only served to further amplify the child's terror. Then, when Rickson felt that he had enjoyed the boy's fragile body enough, a loud snapping sound was heard and the little boy would never again utter a sound. Silence.
However, that period of silence was a brief one. You see, Rickson realized that he hungered still, and slowly walked towards the locked closet in which he stored his consumables...
