Caz/Introduction

"I remember it. Oh, it's hazy, but you try remembering ten fucking thousand years ago. Things was simple then. We lurked in the darkness until one of the human people fucked up and then bang! A pack of hungry spirits would pounce and drag them off into the night. We were always hungry, even back then."

"I remember a pack of us, squatting in the boughs of the trees, leaping down to eat lone travelers. I remember us lurking in the murky water, hungry grasping hands and sharp teeth, always waiting for a child to come too close. I remember us creeping out from under the gallows to steal away the hanging corpse, and prowling into town, feasting on anything we came across. Of course, it's just me now, the others all went away."

"All this modern shit is gonna end, though. Fall down like so many cards, don't you worry. Nukes or global warming or rising populations, the world's gonna fail. And when it does, we'll be there, crawling out from where we hid, and the fairies will hunt and howl and feast like we did in the old days."[/
