I backed away slowly.
It snarled at me.
Flakes of snow blew in from a broken window.
Men laughed across the street in the garage.
Glass crunched underneath my feet.
The wolf was all the way under the truck, claws digging into wood and ice as it pulled itself toward me, jaws open wide.

The boom snapped to the side, the linoleum floor underneath it splitting apart.
The boom landed outside of the diner in the snow.

The wolf’s howl cut off even before it began as the tow truck collapsed on top of it. I heard a wet crunch as six tons of metal met bone and muscle.

A wave of cold air washed over me as I passed through the doorway, looking over my shoulder on the off chance the wolf had survived the truck falling on top of it and was coming after me.
It wasn’t.
“I think it’s dead,” I said to the others. “I think it—”
I bumped into someone.
I turned.
Chris. I had stumbled into Chris. Rico was to his left. Jessie to his right. Tanner stood on the other side of Jessie.
They weren’t moving.
“What the hell are you stopping for?” I demanded, pushing my way through them. “We have to—motherfucker.”
