A shepherd walks across the fields covered in frost, guiding his sheep back home. A storm howls at the edge of the forest, drawing ever nearer. And in a voice just above the wind, just below the frost, they have made one thing clear.

There is a beast in those woods.

Trigger warnings include: themes of horror, mentions of child death, chase scenes, loud noises, and descriptions of body horror.

Written for Aster Podcasting Network as Eli Ramos' debut piece in October 2018.
