The boy’s threat to join the army foreshadows later events well. It also helps to make sense of his changed demeanor and resolve once he “suits up” to confront whatever is out there.
I was surprised that a well defined image of the creature was revealed so quickly. Kind of expected clues as to what and how to take a little longer. Also surprised that the narrator called the creature a wolf early on positively, even though tangible evidence contradict that identification. That seems to mute Clive's obsessive insistence and maybe weakens the impact of his rigid insistence. I think that inability to imagine anything other than a foe which is a known entity to his world is the flaw which separates him from the boy who still has the imagination to accept that there may be an unknown predator force at work here more terrifying than a big wolf.
Great part 2 and conclusion, Shaina. (I was secretly hoping for aliens 😅, but I'll settle for whatever wolf-creature this thing is, a very good take on the phenomenon of cattle mutilation.)
Love the descriptions, the creepiness of the smoke and its consuming of the cows. 👏
Okay, well I don’t know that was a werewolf, but it was creepy, except it’s feet, it was walking on its feet? Or was it wearing boots? Anyhow, nice reference to his wife leaving him after his sprinkling of casual bitterness towards ladies throughout

I freaking love how it feeds. Such a cool detail.
Creepy, spooky, well done. Wow.

Really creepy. Whatever that thing is, it's more alien than little green men. I don't blame the kid for running.
