Carcinogenicity

My sister sits in the opposite room and cries because she’s hungry. (At seventeen you’d think she’d feed herself). My mother opens up her shirt and offers to my sister a breast. My sister growls hungrily, the whites of her eyes abruptly become drowned in red streaks. She dives at the exposed teat and begins to suck violently. All of a sudden, my mother screams and blood begins to flow from her chest, down her abdomen, collecting in a pool on the floor around her feet. My sister laughs and pulls her head away, a piece of soft brown flesh caught in the vice like grip of her pearly white teeth.
