Inside a small room lit only by a small candle, -aggie- could be discovered knelling beside his daughter’s bed, evidently in prayer. His daughter, Alexandra, lie on the bed, inert.
-aggie-’s house sat in the center of the “town” of MRVille, although by today’s standards it could hardly be called a village. Scattered around it were shops or dwellings, all braced against the harsh East Coast winter. To some, MRVille was only a spot on the map or a source of raw material for the motherland, but to its inhabitants, this was home.
Its settlers were as colorful as the iridescent leaves which had stubbornly not left their trees to fall to the chilly, decrepit ground. There was Jav6454 the poet, whose trifle verses made keeping a roof over his head almost has hard as finding a maiden who would have him. There was Moyank24 who ran what would have been a successful sandwich shop, were she slightly more hospitable to her male cliental. The village housed many other inhabitants, but let us return to -aggie-’s dilemma.
At that moment there was a knock at his door. Jav6454 scurried in without waiting for an answer.
“Oh Alexandria, Alexandria! With skin and hair so fair.
How could this happen? Doth not the good lord care?”
A howl resounded through the cold air. Jav6454 faltered, but continued in verse.
“And if it be a lycanthrope around his neck will go a rope!
For no man nor beast--”
“For the love of God stop!” bellowed -aggie- “A few more lines of that codswallop and she’d lose the will to live!”
“I am an artist. My poetry strikes awe in the hearts of those blessed enough to hear it.” He said dramatically.
-aggie- shoved Jav out of the room, which was quite a feat considering the poet’s heft, to be alone with his disfigured daughter.
He looked into her eyes, and saw the claw marks that brandished her youthful face. He broke down and cried. Tears of sorrow, and of vengeance. He would have the neck of the furry bastard who did this, regardless of what it took. With that he called the village to a meeting, to discuss the course of action for identifying the wolves who had done this.
