COLD STEEL
Something is out there and it's picking off the flock. It awakens at dusk with a taste for livestock, and it must be stopped. The cold, polished steel. The night does not yield. You're never alone in the dark. Aim is true, shot is sharp. Biding time until vengeance is mine. A moonlit vigilance. The haunter becomes hunted. The beast is revealed in the cold, polished steel. Take aim and shoot from the heart.
