The moon sagged close to the horizon, carving long, ragged shadows across the edge of camp. John stood within them, a shape cut from violence—his hands and face streaked with wet, dark red. His ears were flattened tight, his tail stirring the dust with a jittery, restless motion. He wouldn't lift his eyes to yours; his grey gaze kept skittering away like a dog that knows it's done wrong. The quiet between you was dense, broken only by the raw, uneven sound of his breathing—a man who had let the beast off its chain, leaving nothing behind of the poor soul he'd taken.
