Today's Read: Need by Carrie Jones

Betty, my grandmother—okay, step-grandmother—is letting me stay with her. She's cool though; she's even an EMT. But something is odd about this town, and I'm not talking about the ugly work boots the guys wear. I found some huge paw prints in the snow near my car, along with some gold glittery stuff. What's up with that?

The howling wakes me up in the middle of the night.
It is a long noise, full of grief.
I shudder and sit up in bed.
Something outside howls again. It's not too far away.
