I remember reading in the paper about a man being killed by a hitchiker he gave a ride to.The hitchiker had killed the driver and ate the man's heart,he apprently tore the other man's heart out of his chest with his bare hands.The police never did find the killer strange thing was they did find tracks on a nearby embankment but about halfway up the embankment the human footprints turn into those of a wolf,but this wolf walked on two legs.They never bothered to search the area and as time passed the incident was forgotted.The time is 25 years later.A man and his wife have built their dreamhome on te very site the wolf tracks were found.The husband being the CEO of his company has planned to attend a meeting in town tonight of his wife will be on her own probably allnight.Seeing how she won't have him to protect her,just in case she has any trouble with animals coming around he leaves her his gun, a .44 magnum.Night comes quick in the country,things seem to be unusually quiet tonight.The woman decides to watch tv,about halfway through her program the power goes out.She finds her way to the kitchen and looks through a drawer for a flashlight.It's about that time she hears a low growling sound coming from somewhere outside.She seems a bit shakey but she has her husband's gun.As she tries to rest the wind begins to gust,it makes an unearthly sound blowing through the canyon.All of a sudden she hears something scratching on the front door,long almost like the sound of something trying to claw its way through the door.She waits awhile checks the gun to make sure its loaded,she slowly opens the door,in the door are long deep claw marks.As she starts back into the house the porch light comes on which is strange because the power in the rest of the house is off.She hurries back inside and shuts te door,she pushes a steel rod at the bottom of the door into its hole so the door cannot be opened from the outside without the steel rod being pulled out.Again she hears the growling this time it right outside the door.The woman runs to get the gun,with her flashlight in one hand and the magnum in the other she shines the on the door.The steel rod is bending.The woman raises the gun about chest level and fires four shots point blank range.All of a sudden the dor flies open and she screams.The next morning the police just happen to be in te area.They spot the house from the road and they think something not right.The officers enter the house and they call out "anyone here?," nothing they search the house and when they come to the master bedroom they almost gag.There is blood everywhere,more blood than other officer has ever seen before.But the worst sight was the woman's head hanging from the ceiling by her hair and her face froze in a silent scream (just a added note:Her body was nowhere in the house and when they made a search of the area the officers found four .44 magnum slugs completely flattened.They did find blood outside and wolf tracks that lead to the dirt road and disappeared.
