escalating; sometimes glasses fly across the room and shatter against the wall. Sunday after closing up my jewelry shop, I saw HIM.”
    Leaning in and whispering “I saw the shadow of a man, with a black hat watching me. He was leaning against a lamp post, staring at me with the same red glowing eyes of the wolf. I ran to my car and jumped in, locking my doors. I watched him from my mirrors as I drove away, he walked into the center of the street and stopped.”
    “ I floored it; I didn’t wait to see what he would do. I drove home threw things in a bag and left. Maybe I am over reacting” pausing Elsbeth says, “but the eyes. I feel like I have been marked. I don’t know if I can run from them, but I am going to try to find help.”
    “If anyone knows who he is, or what they are please leave a comment below. I desperately need help.”

    Standing outside in the bright sun, Looking more rested she begins “Elsbeth here, I found help, or rather; she found me. I am on my way to meet her!” Excitedly she says, “I will let you know what I find out.” Looking directly into the camera with her long blonde hair blowing in the wind, blue eyes shining, she says “I feel so relieved to know that I am not alone in this fight. I will keep you updated on what I find out. Talk to you soon.”
     
     
     
    Grabbing her phone off the top of Jake’s “baby”, she smiles as she climbs into the driver’s seat of the orange and black 1970 Ford Torino. He left his car with her when he was deployed telling her to take care of it while he was gone. Jake signed up with the Air force straight out of high school and was part of the Pararescue unit. Their mission is to rescue, recover and return American or Allied forces in times of danger or extreme duress. Sighing she touches the dream catcher that hangs from the rear view mirror and wishes he were here. Only three more weeks till he is home for good, she thinks as she starts the engine. Jake put his six years in, and during his last leave decided it was time for a change. During his last mission something went wrong, and lives were lost. He decided not to re-enlist and she was more than ready for his help. Due to the secrecy of his job, she had not been able to reach him to tell him all that’s been happening.
    “Hurry home Jake.” Elsbeth says as she pulls out of the overlook onto the two lane road. Driving down the stretch of road on the Blue Ridge parkway, she stares at the beauty around her. To her left a straight drop off to the mountains below, while to the right nothing but a mountain of rock. The car hugged the road with no problem. She reaches the top of the mountain just before sunset.
    Descending to the valley below, Elsbeth notices a blur of movement to her left in the trees. Her heart begins to race, as she glances over. “Damn!” Elsbeth says. She can’t believe her eyes. It is a pack of shadow wolves keeping pace with her car. She presses on the gas and begins to pull away. Trying to keep track of the wolves through her mirrors, she looks back to the road as her cell phone rings. Answering her phone she hears a female voice ask “Where are you?”
    “On the parkway, they’ve found me, what do I do? She asks in a frightened voice. “I’m coming to you.” The voice says and the line goes dead.
    Glancing down at her phone, Elsbeth looks up and standing in the center of the lane with glowing red eyes is the Shadowman from her shop! Instinctively she jerks the wheel to the left, and screaming, she slams on her brakes. The car goes into a skid and rears up on its right tires.  Rolling, on its side the car flips and sound of breaking glass and metal crunching fills her ears.  Flipping a few times more before it crashes onto its roof.  Bleeding from her head, and locked in by her seatbelt; Elsbeth frantically tries to break free. Moaning she says “No, No, No!” The wolves are circling the car, snarling and she hears the sound of footsteps.
