The Trials of Hunting

Kneeling before the corpse, I inspect its wounds. The lacerations and oversized claw marks on its broken limbs are consistent with Werewolves, but the kill isn't.

Werewolves are intelligent, non-aggressive animals. They kill out of necessity. For food, or protection. Not like this.

I place my hand on his chest, trying to picture what happened.

He's a hiker? Blindsided? Toyed with? Was this planned?

Damn Psychometry, useless! I wanted to know why. Not how. None of this makes sense!

Why kill at all? Why like this? Why leave evidence? Why give us proof?

Unless...Soteria protect us. It's a trap!
