They possess no pulse, nor a heartbeat. Their lungs have long since discarded the need to regulate oxygen.  Logical thought escapes them, as does such common emotional states as happiness, sadness, or depression.   The age-old weaknesses of man, such as lust, greed, or envy, no longer apply.

Yet they walk.  They desire.  They pursue…relentlessly. They hunger...insatiably…infinitely.
