  When the moon was crescent shaped people began to disappear. First it was an old lady out late one night counting coupons. Then it was a courier, crisscrossing town to make requested deadlines. And finally it was a local craftsman, whose remains were found next to a crack that led to a mysterious crater. It seemed that there was no criterion by which this criminal attacked. But the clean up crew was beginning to think that it was not a person, but a creature.

  When the crisis became known throughout the small town, all but the most courageous left to "visit relatives." News coverage was intense, the local economy was crippled and more than several young couples made a covenant to marry by the end of the week. The credentials of the local police were also no longer good enough; the FBI was called in. That was when the murders stopped.

  As the weeks went on and reporters no longer cared about covering what was once a major story, people came crawling back to their homes.

  To the credit of many, nighttime activities began to become common again. Life seemed to be returning to normal.

  月亮開始呈月牙形的時候人們就開始失蹤。首先是一位深夜外出數贈貨券的老太太。然后是一位導游，他在城里往返奔波，制定要求的截止日。最后是一個本地工匠，他的遺體在通往一個神秘大坑的裂縫附近被人發(fā)現。罪犯作案好像沒有任何標準，但清除小組全體成員開始認為這個罪犯可能不是人，而是某種動物。

  整個小鎮(zhèn)都知道這一危機后，除了最勇敢的人以外，所有的人都離開小鎮(zhèn)“走親戚”去了。新聞報道鋪天蓋地，地方經濟嚴重受損，有好幾對年輕人立約在周末成婚。當地警察的證件也不再管用，人們叫來聯邦調查局的人，到這時兇殺才停止發(fā)生。

  幾個星期過去了，記者不再樂于報道這件曾經轟動一時的大事，人們也開始慢慢地打道回府。讓大家引以為榮的是，晚間活動又開始活躍起來，生活似乎正在恢復正常。

  可是，上次謀殺發(fā)生之后只過去了一個月、又是一輪新月的時候，怪獸又爬出洞了。一個在公園散步的人彎腰撫平褲子上的皺痕，他不知道這時死亡又將降臨，而且從他開始。
