The mouth opener.
_**Episode 2**_
It had been six months since anyone had dared to say they would kill the beast, they were probably still recovering from the emotional impact of having to watch the vultures destroy the living body of Julian, the last young man who had dared to claim that he could kill the beast... probably, people felt that the screams of agony and despair that the 21-year-old had emitted were heartbreaking, but no one could do anything because none of them would dare cross the beast's forest. , only a madman would do it, someone desperate for power and money would dare, but it seemed that there was not a single man or woman who entered, as they ended up devoured in the same conditions as everyone else; some were luckier than others, but the only thing they had in common was that they all ended up hanging where a flag once flew.
The cold seemed to seep more and more into the bodies of those inhabitants and it is not that they could not escape from the place, because they could easily leave and go to another part of the world, but they had made a very serious mistake, because at the beginning, when they founded the town, they had chosen the wrong place, since the only entrance and exit to the town was on the sides of the Castle, there was no other route or way to get out, the forest was enormous, dense and dark, making it virtually impossible to enter and come out alive, no one did, because not even the animals were saved... and the little fauna that remained, surely lived more hidden than ever, or perhaps they had been more intelligent than humans and had escaped through the only entrance to the kingdom... How stupid humans seemed when even an animal could beat them in intelligence, strategy and wisdom; Perhaps, if they looked a little more closely at animals and lived with them without wanting to kill them or hunt them to survive, they would understand the keys to the animal kingdom and its different hierarchies, and suddenly, if they were a little luckier, they would even be able to understand their language, but humans were not conscious enough to develop a seventh sense and fully awaken their knowledge, because even small creatures like cats or birds feel respect for each other when they encounter the presence of a dangerous predator and know how avoid it, what strategy to use and what are its weak points, but humans are only governed by power, lust, greed, glory and carnal desires; It seems that everyone is made in the same way, and if you want to survive in the human world, you will always have to live by escaping embarrassing situations, make some enemies, love the lovers you may have and enjoy the good life, but those who do not suffer the same fate: who are poor and whose income is barely enough to live on, have to use parts of their body as currency, be it teeth for the rich, women for men or children for the rich slavers, but the poor can never succeed, that is the only thing a poor person is guaranteed.
There was poor Mr. León again, giving almost all of his teeth as a form of payment to Muriel, that rich man who was known for giving the best dances and offering the best meals when it came to celebrating, but when it came to producing, he transformed In the cruelest person who lived in the town, many knew the history of young lovers who haunted the beds of Muriel's house, most of them were not older than 16 years old and all of them had arrived there as currency, as some type of payment for something they never used or consumed, such as some meals, clothing, or a roof over their heads.
But ¿what had Mr. León requested from that man? It wasn't food, because he had learned to grow his own vegetables and they could survive with it; clothes either, because they used the sacks to create some coats and rags that covered most of their bodies, but the only thing they had not finished paying for was the small house with two rooms and a kitchen, with a garden where they grew their crops. vegetables…
Mr. León's wife no longer had any teeth left, since she had given them all as part of the payment, and Mr. León was going down the same path, he only had to offer his daughters' perfect teeth or sell them, there was no other option, then more and more letters arrived from Muriel pressuring that man for payment, until the day when Mr. León stopped answering the letters, so he was visited by Muriel's thugs, warning him that if he did not If he paid as soon as possible, they would send him to the forest to face the beast, since Muriel claimed that he was the only person that the beast did not dare to kill because it recognized him as an equal at its side, and this seemed to be something or that the people believed him, and therefore, the people respected him and feared him, because Muriel disappeared every month for two weeks and when he returned he claimed that he had calmed the anger of the beast, but that he could not kill him because the beast saw him almost as a family member and no one wants to kill a family member, but the truth behind all this spectacle is that during those two weeks Muriel locked himself in one of the rooms of any of his properties to enjoy the love that the young girls according to him he longed to give…
