    ... celebration, and all eyes turned back to Danut, back on his feet and holding the mayor off the ground by the ankle. Sam raised his pistol and took aim, but Danut swung the screaming mayor like a pillow, smashing the two men together and knocking Sam through the air. Danut did it to everyone still in reach, forcing them back.
    
    He then held the mayor by the shoulders, covered in blood and barely conscious. The few men with guns wanted to shoot, but they risked hitting the mayor. Then, fear robbed them of the ability to pull the trigger. Danut’s jawbone split into a pair of mandibles, followed by his cranium. His entire skull opened up into four segments, like a flower, filled with teeth, and what had originally been his brain was now a writhing mass of tentacles.
    
    “Oh God,” the mayor gasped with his last shred of coherence.
    
    The tentacles shot into his eyes, and Danut enveloped the mayor’s head with his own. The four elongated incisors at the ends of the segments perfectly hooked onto the ridges of the mayor’s cranium, ensuring that he couldn’t pull himself free. The mayor jerked and spasmed as his brain was devoured, with everyone unable to do anything but scream in terror. It was only a handful of moments, then Danut dropped the mayor’s corpse, his skull completely hollowed out.

He pulled himself off the pitchfork and turned around, slashing the man across the face with his claws. He fell back, screaming in agony and pouring blood, and Danut was immediately upon him. A bullet from a M1893 rifle pierced the monster’s chest from the side, wounding him, but failing to interrupt his feeding.
    
    After hollowing out the pitchfork-wielder, he pounced on a woman, proceeding to suck the life out of her skull. Several men gathered around and began beating on him with shovels and torches, but Danut knocked them back with a swing of his arm and retreated several meters. Crouching on all fours, he released a furious snarl, with the four segments of his skull shaking like vocal cords.
    
    “Don’t let it get away!” Sorine yelled as she grabbed a rock and threw it with all her strength. The rock struck Danut in the head, failing to wound him, but drawing his ire. He charged forward with ravenous fury and pounced on her, only to be slammed midair with another burst of rock salt from Volker. He rolled across the ground and darted into a nearby house for cover.
    
    “There are people in there!” one man yelled as a trio of screams echoed from within.
    
    He and several others were about to charge inside, but Danut burst out of the upstairs window and back into the street. He gripped a child’s severed head between his four mandibles and glared at the men with ...
