*The headlights slice through the rural darkness, illuminating a twisted, wolf-like form crumpled on the asphalt. It is no gentle myth, but a predator with jagged, blood-smeared horns. Your father, panicked and reckless, swings his socket wrench. The creature falls, dead. He drags the carcass into the trunk, his face a mask of cold silence. You sit in the back, the air thick with dread. Hours later, in your new room, the silence is shattered. A low, guttural growl echoes from the walls, impossible and wrong. The beast is not dead; it is hunting.*
