Snippet #2560745

Like a swarm of angry piranha, the eels searched, devouring much of anything they found in their way, had anything not tried to stop them. From his safe alcove, Emeka watched with fear. He had not made this beast, but he knew of her power. Seen much lost to her hunger.

What he did not know was what Teo dared to explore- the portal within the creature lead to something else entirely. Somewhere alien and bizarre. Immediately on the other side were the same eels Teo saw spilling forth into his world trying to swim through, and beyond that, a space filled with thick black waters. The surface was not so far, but even there was inhabited by the eels. Every crevice, every spot was inhabited by them, and not every one alive. Carcasses rotted in the water, eels cannibalized one another in desperate hunger, and not even the largest of them, coiled around mountains in the distance, were safe from the sheer numbers of their kin.

It was a world fueled by hunger, and nothing else.
