there is a big bad wolf

Out of the shadows attentive eyes follow his every move, silent steps leaving light imprints on the snow. The trees hide the flash of red and amber cutting through the white landscape, snow still falling like a gentle touch covering the earth in deep stale slumber.Connor feels eyes burning holes into his back and he has to fight the urge to stop and look back.It all happens so fast, too fast. He doesn’t even hear it when it steps forward just at the edge of the trees – everything is silent. At first, they just stare at each other, and then the beast leaps. That's all Connor sees before he closes his eyes and his body hits the ground in a muffled thud. The beast on top of him.
