A chilling confession heard by a priest during a stormy night. The confessor recounts his impoverished childhood, where his devout mother began luring hungry, forgotten strangers to their farm after the family’s livestock and crops failed. Following these disappearances, the boy and his mother would eat the victims, performing a ritual in which they covered their faces with linen cloths to hide their actions from God—an act the boy later recognized as cannibalism. After leaving home, the man struggles with an unnatural, persistent hunger until he eventually lures and consumes a homeless man, reenacting his mother’s ritual to feel “full” for the first time in years. The story concludes with the priest urging him to seek absolution by turning himself in, but the confessor mysteriously vanishes before receiving a blessing, leaving the priest deeply unsettled and fearful.
