Das Monster tauchte kurz nach Mitternacht auf. Wie das bei monstern eben üblich ist. Conor war wach, als es kam. Er hatte einen Albtraum gehabt. Na gut, nicht irgendeinen. Den Albtraum. Den einen, den er in letzter Zeit ziemlich oft hatte. Den mit der Finsternis und dem Wind und dem Schrei. Den mit den Händen, die er irgendwann nicht mehr festhalten konnte, egal, wie sehr er sich bemühte. Den, der immer endete, dass.
