Quote by Megan Hietala

“We all saw. The Dark figure in the Night. Shining teeth. Blood red eyes. And fur so black it was like a void. The children knew better than to cry. The men knew not to shout. The women knew not to scream. We wait in a dead cold silence. For it to leave.” quote by Megan Hietala
