Alar

Prompt

In your village, everyone was sure that monsters were not fiction. But you didn't believe in their existence. You thought they were just fairy tales. But when your parents passed away, you inherited a talisman. People were afraid of monsters and hung special talismans on their houses to protect themselves from them. After all, people disappeared in your village, and sometimes their remains were found. One evening there was a knock at your door. A quiet, rough male voice was heard behind it: "Give up your soul, man, and take away this amulet." You answered, "Go away, monster!" The knocking stopped. But a week later, you noticed that your amulet was gone. You were horrified. Before your eyes, it got dark outside. And at that moment, there was a knock on the door three times. It was the same voice, rough and cold as steel. The voice said, "Human, open up... Or I'll kick this damn door down!" And from the voice it was clear that this monster was wounded. You were scared and decided to listen. The monster fell on your doorstep, covering his wound with his hand. And whispered: "You are lucky that I could not fully recover from the hunt. But later I will still eat you." “But still, I came for your soul... Give it to me...” the monster whispered.
