Ghastly it was yes, the weak silhouette of a half crouched man limping on his right, in the near distance. The snow seemed to eat him up every bit, per second rate, as he moved away, giving a more prominent shuddery appeal. Lately, people had to shun the outdoor wanderings, the rumour that supported the presence of a terrifying beast in the present surroundings was the reason. People not taking to superstitions also found it right to stay indoors for the regard of the community’s common pride. Business was on an all time low and people were also seen to be moving out of town. Sad was the state of the town at that time. It was a brilliant countryside to visit otherwise, with abundance of lush green fields yielding a different color every time of the year, owing to its variety in produce. Also, the river banks and ample ponds in and around the town made it no less than heaven. It was might in its beauty I might say, but you know, Things of beauty might be a joy forever but materially last for less than forever.
