“It comes,” Summer Moon intoned. “It comes with the storm! It comes!” Her words ended in a terrible shriek. The villagers drew back, wives shrinking behind their husbands; children huddling against their mothers’ skirts. Only the chief dared face the frenzied wise woman. “What comes, good mother?” he asked. She turned her glowing, silvery eyes upon him. “Wendigo,” she hissed, and the word seemed to echo unnaturally through the crisp autumn air. “Wendigo.”
