A murder has recently taken place in the small town of Boling, where Officer Crowl Davis lives.
A shepherd was found dead in his own sheep pen, having bled to death.
To keep the killer from returning to the scene, Crowl keeps watch beside the body that night. When the dark clouds part and the blood moon shines overhead, the body beside him begins to move without a sound...
As usual, this is a short story, a very short one. This one has a pairing. Just something I wrote on a whim.
If you're eating and happen to come across this story, I recommend reading with caution, because it's... um, a little gross.
