VNDS WEEK 3 CONTROVERSIAL COVERAGE

The night started with a minor inconvenience—Miss October came back from a smoke break clutching her wrist, a trickle of blood staining her fresh acrylics."Some weirdo bit me," she huffed. "Handled it. Probably just hungry."Banana squinted. "Podling, HE BIT YOU?! That’s some World War Z nonsense!" 🧟"If I was turning into a zombie, wouldn’t I be gnawing on you by now?" Miss October snorted. But she did look a little pale. Maybe it was just the lighting. Maybe...By the time they got home, Miss October was acting strange. She tore through the fridge, grumbling, "Nothing tastes right!" She licked butter, chewed raw pasta, even gnawed on a candle. But then came the smell. Something awful.Banana turned—and saw Miss October crouched over a stash of...BRAINS. 🧠"MISS OCTOBER?! WHAT ARE YOU EATING?!"Miss October, glossy-lipped with something NOT Fenty, turned slowly. "Just a lil' snack..." she purred, slurping up a piece of occipital lobe.Banana screamed. "OH HELL NO!" 🚨"What?!" Miss October rolled her eyes. "I have cravings. Maybe it’s... keto-adjacent?"Banana backed up. "We need to get you checked out!""No time..." Miss October groaned, her voice suddenly raspy. "We have a podcast to record."But by morning, she could barely lift her head. Her limbs twitched. Her skin turned gray. Her voice slurred.Banana had no choice—she had to record the podcast alone. 🎙️"Alright, podlings! Solo episode today because Miss October is feeling... a little under the weather."A low growl echoed from across the room.Banana gulped. "ANYWAY, let’s talk VNDS!"As she rambled through the episode, she kept glancing at Miss October. Her fingers curled like claws. Her teeth looked... sharper. Her breath came in ragged snarls.By the time Banana wrapped up, Miss October’s transformation was nearly complete. Her once-glamorous lashes fluttered against dull, lifeless eyes. Her lips pulled back in a hungry snarl.Banana took a deep breath. "Miss October? You still in there?"Silence. Then—A blood-curdling growl.Banana screamed.The podcast ended abruptly with static.Did Miss October finally turn? Did Banana make it out alive? Will the next episode drop next week... or will it be a NEW voice behind the mic? 👀🎧
