Marilyn's roaring stomach woke her up about half an hour before her alarm would have. She swore out loud as she got out of bed, heading to the kitchen in the small apartment that she lived in. It didn't take her long to find the sugary chocolate-puff cereal that she liked to eat for breakfast. Without bothering to prepare a bowl of milk, she instead just held the box up and let the contents of the half-full box pour into her mouth. It wasn't nearly enough to sate her, but it did allow her to think of something other than food.
Marilyn found her mind wandering to the dream she had last night. Eat anyone she wanted to? That sounded... interesting. Marilyn had always wondered what it was like to kill someone. She'd practiced on small animals that she found in the part, but was always careful to hide the evidence. Not that it would have mattered if she had hid it or not; her Dad didn't really seem to care much what she did, not since Mom ran out on them both. Of course, Marilyn acted "normal" for the people around her; it wouldn't do to let her classmates know what really went through her head.
And what was going through her head was eating people. It certainly wouldn't leave any physical evidence behind. Marilyn thoughtfully rubbed her chubby belly (a result of eating nothing but sugary cereals for breakfast for a few months now) as it gurgled, almost in agreement. Yes, Marilyn thought, she had to give it a shot. But who to eat?
