Beginning of the end
A stray dog strayed from his pack.
She was standing all alone in the middle of the street, watching the crowds of passers-by with hungry eyes. Right now, she wanted only one thing. Blood and meat.
The dog itself did not understand what was happening to her.
After she tasted a piece of rotten meat, of unknown color and origin in some abandoned garbage dump.
She felt that something was happening to her body after this meal, but she did not understand what exactly. Of course, she could not complain to anyone, because her owner died two years ago from a serious illness in the hospital.
Now she is on her own, like many other dogs running around the streets of Moscow.
A young girl passed by a hungry and unhealthy dog. And, unfortunately, she fell right in front of her on the sidewalk, broke her heel and injured her leg.
The smell of blood began to drive the dog crazy and she did not hesitate to rush at her victim with a ferocious look, baring her bleeding fangs.
She had already managed to grab the girl’s wrist, but she was lucky that a man was walking by and was able to drive away the abnormal dog with a stick.
The girl’s name was Nina. Now her hand was aching badly after the bite, and blood was flowing from her knee.
– You need to go to the hospital, I can give you a ride, – said a large man.
– Thank you, but alas I can’t, – Nina answered and went to the nearest pharmacy for bandages and antiseptic.
On this day, the girl was simply obliged to go to her father. After all, he had been suffering from a long illness for several months, and lived on the very outskirts of Moscow, the Kommunarka metro station.
Nina bought some bandages, treated the wound, hastily right there in the pharmacy and was already hurrying limping on her right leg in the subway.
When she stopped next to the escalator step, she fell from exhaustion on one hand on a moving handrail and suddenly began to lose consciousness.
– You’re either a girl there or here. «Why are you standing here?» the man asked rudely, pushing her out of the aisle.
– Are you ill? – the attendant who was watching the escalator called out.
– Yes, but I have to go, I have to hurry, – Nina whispered.
She stepped on the escalator step, which rapidly took her down.
Nina barely waited for the train and sat down at the very edge of the car leaning against its wall. She immediately fell into oblivion.
– Girl wake up, the final stop, everyone is already leaving, – a female voice was heard.
Nina opened her blood-swollen eyes and through the bloody veil she saw her prey and now she, too, like that stray dog, wanted only one thing… Blood and meat.
Nina abruptly jumped up from the place where she had been sitting for a long time and attacked the woman who woke her up, she bit wildly into her hand and blood gushed from the wound of the unfortunate.
«Help, whoever it is, – she screamed in horror. – What’s the matter with you? Are you not normal?
And Nina looked at the unfortunate woman with distraught eyes, but still unclenching her teeth, she sat down on all fours and covered her face with her hands. Maybe something human was still present in her.
Passengers were hurrying to the exit this time, some went to the breach pushing the crowd around them.
The young guy was the last to get out of the car. He felt a sharp pain in the shin area and convulsively grabbed his leg.
The guy saw a woman sitting on the floor of the train and holding his Achilles tendon with her teeth like a dog.
– Come on, – he shouted in wild terror, grabbing her by the hair.
And then he saw her whites without pupils, and a bloody face, and there was baked dirt and blood under her nails.
– Dear God, – he just managed to utter this and fell to the floor completely senseless.
The doors of the train closed, and the train jerked forward to make another circle.
А train
The day turned out to be hot and sunny today. Through the window of the Moscow apartment, the sun’s rays made their way through light, airy curtains and lay down on the old, wooden parquet with highlights.
Two friends, Blanca and Galina, have been renting an apartment on Bolshaya Ordynka in Moscow for a year.
Now the girls were setting up a marathon and were about to leave.
– Blanca, tell me, how does my new dress look? Just don’t say it’s bad, because you regularly criticize me!
– Fine, – Blanca replied in an indifferent tone.
– Don’t you like it?
– Why are you always picking on words?
– Okay, Blanca, just don’t get mad, – Galina said.
After putting on their two outfits, the young girls hurriedly left the house and went to the subway they had to go to the station Boulevard Rokossovsky.
After all, it was today that their classmates invited them to their birthday. The girls ran to the subway and dived into the subway, where they found themselves in a huge crowd of people who were also in a hurry and running about their business.
The friends went through the tunnel and soon found themselves at the open doors of the train. They got into the car, sat down in the empty seats at the train doors. There were a lot of people, everyone was returning home. It was rush hour.
– I should have come out later. I told you so.
– What’s the use of this chatter? We’re already eating anyway, don’t be naughty,» Blanca replied.
«You’re definitely out of sorts today, – Galina said sadly.
– No, you’re not in the mood, you’ve been picking on me and being naughty all day today. That’s not it, that’s not it. And I’m still poor, I put up with it. I tolerate it. I tolerate it,» the Form has already switched to a raised tone.
And it seemed to merge with her raised intonation a cry that unexpectedly rang out for everyone in another car. The train jerked and began to slow down sharply. Many people did not hold up well, so they began to fall to the floor.
– What is it? Blanca asked quietly.
The light in the cars began to flicker and soon went out completely, but then it turned on completely dim, apparently an emergency device worked.
One big guy who was not far from the girls grabbed the doors with his strong, powerful hands and began to push them apart. The doors did not immediately give in, but a little later they still opened.
In another car, apparently, the doors were also opened and people got out. Galina and her friend decided not to rush yet, they clung to the glass and froze, looking at what was happening.
Meanwhile, people with flashlights were moving through the tunnel and small lights from smartphones were visible among the crowd. Suddenly there was a chilling scream and an incomprehensible figure with raised hands and crooked fingers attacked an elderly woman.
– Please take this away from me,» the poor thing screamed, and a red liquid immediately poured out of her throat like a fountain.
This creature, tearing a piece of skin right out of her throat, wanted to pounce on someone
