*A ghoul sat upon a warped chair, groaning under its weight as it twitched and bridled. Its back seemingly crooked and leaning at such an angle that the figure threatened to collapse at any moment. Duck gawked at the flashing screen. his 500 ton computer sat next to him, the 4 million LEDs bathing his face an oily blue tinge and casting long shadows on the peeling wall behind him.

He jerked awake as two bright notes chimed in rapid succession. A notification. He spread his flaking lips into a wide grin, lining them with a shiny film as he greedily licked them in delight. He dragged the cursor to the message and clicked the picture. His bulging eyes pulsated as they desperately scavenged the image, feasting on each pixel, careful not to waste this rare delicacy. His dry, red eyes seeped through the image, searching for any slight feature he may have missed. Then, satisfied that he had wrangled every last drop of sustinance from the screen, Duck wearily slumped back, shooting a mist of cheeto dust as his back squeezed the drooping foam on his chair. He was satisfied with his findings today.*
