"Another young man is gone. His husband asks for help. Is there no way to stop the abductions?"
Those were the headlines of the local paper. In this small, logging city, several young men had vanished. Their partners had asked for help, but none came. There were no clues or leads. There were rumors of giants, but no rational person would accept that theory.
Eric was thinking about the stories as he ran to hide. He had disobeyed his partner and went out to party. Mick, his husband, had demanded Eric stay home. Eric was slender whereas Mick was bigger and strong. Eric ducked behind a trash can and prayed Mick would help him. He had left the bar and was walking home, when he heard the rumble. Eric quickened his walk, but he felt a warm breath on his neck, much more powerful than a human. Eric was almost home when he ran into a barricade and fell on his ass. His face lit up in surprise and then terror as he was enveloped in darkness.
