Cold winds whistled through the walls of the houses in the village. Many homes were covered with hastily constructed defences, but nothing could keep evil out for long.
Boro awoke with a start. He had nailed boards against every entrance to the house to keep the wolves out, but now by the sounds from outside those boards were being steadily broken down.
Ripping the boards from his bedroom window Boro ignored bleeding fingers as he scrambled through the small space.
But there was a second wolf.
Boro's panicked scream was swiftly cut off. All that could be heard amidst the wind was the sound of crunching bone.
The grisly sight of Boro's broken body nailed to his own boards greeted the villagers that morning.
"Hardly encouraging." sally muttered.
