A tiny amount of light seeping into the room gave shape to an odd shadow of a man. The young child who was sobbing and crying witnessed this incident. Gradually, she lifted her head to identify the person.

There was no one there...

When she realized it was probably her imagination, she let out a sarcastic laugh. Anyone who might see her at that state would probably think she's going crazy.

She knew better what's going on.

"Just take me away! What's the use of all of this?!" she cried out.

A cold breeze of wind brushed through her skin. She shivered when someone hugged her from behind.

"Does it not make you feel more famished when you could smell it but could not taste it? Is it not more enticing this way? The dish will become more tastier. Are you not looking forward to it?" She heard a cold whisper to her ear.

When she looked behind, she saw a man grinning at her. She squinted her eyes.

"Then what? You're just gonna steal it anyway"

The man shook his head at her remarks. "It's all yours, my little Sarah. I have set my eyes on something completely different from what you desire."
