Summary: All alone, Sam encounters an ancient monster.


Cold. Wind freezes the blood, slows his heart beat until his knees

Fold. Crumpling, shaking, he falls. Tumbles, rolls, hits rock and stills. Then the creature grows

Bold. It comes out from the shadows, moving like smoke. His eyelids flutter. Its breath smells of

Mold. Its tongue flickers out, tastes his warm blood. It hisses its pleasure, a tale never

Told. He doesn't want to become another victim, but the creature is so strong, so vicious, so very

Old. Sam, it hisses. It doesn't matter any more, as Sam lets go his

Hold.

Consciousness slips away.

Sam's soul is sold.
