Wood
A novella.
"Blessed is the creature that knows its purpose."
Woods surround a blighted section of a nameless city, and after dark something creeps forth into the streets, something that preys upon humans... and may ultimately replace them.
One winter night, it begins to stalk a runaway girl.
The monster just made its first mistake.
