The man didn't even have time to scream.
The transformed demonic human. Let out a low, broken growl. His body twitched, arms jerking like a puppet on strings.
His skin had gone pale and stretched. Thick, black veins crawled up the side of his neck and face.
His eyes were glowing faint red. Unfocused but full of something dark and hungry.
Then he lunged.
He tackled the man next to him, sinking his teeth deep into his neck. A horrible, wet crunch followed.
Blood sprayed out in a wide arc. Splattering the seats, the window, and anyone standing too close.
The bitten man froze, eyes wide open in shock. Then slowly collapsed to the floor with a thud. Twitching once before going still.
Gasps and screams followed.
The corrupted human raised his head. His mouth covered in blood. He looked up, almost sniffing the air.
Then turned toward the next person. His lips peeling back in a twisted grin.
People started backing away.
"No—no, get away!" someone shouted.
