The full moon was obscured by the dense fog. I took a short cut through the woods, even though the locals warned me of the dangers. It was unusually quiet. I heard a blood-curling howl. I turned around to see it stand on his hind legs, so tall, I thought it would reach the heavens. The fingernails were as long as my forearm, times three. The drool told me it was eager to end my time on this mortal plane. As it got ready to pounce, I knew there was no escape, unless...
In a commanding voice, I shouted “SIT.”
