It has been just over a week since the discovery of Lucy Taylor's body in the small town of Silver Falls. The sun is high in the sky, and it is just 11:30 on a Saturday, thirty minutes now remains until the town meeting which everyone had been requested to attend. The local, understaffed police department has been hard at work, stretched thin between the ongoing investigation, and the intensifying and constant rise in crime which had come following the murder. From reports of odd creatures, shadows and even monsters roaming about town, to other brutal attacks between students, co-workers and even families, something wrong has been happening in Silver Falls...
But in these last seven days, such incidents had become commonplace. Since the previous Tuesday, school had been cancelled, while the initial reason had been that it was to allow Lucy's friends to mourn, the truth was far more gruesome - students attacking each other, and setting the bathrooms aflame with others within.
Silver Falls forest park had been closed after a number of hikers disappeared just three days prior, trails of blood and human limbs were found strewn around the woods, and concerns of wild bears or wolves have become exaggerated into giant beasts and monsters, hunting for human flesh.
The arrival of strange 'tourists' who keep to themselves, watch the townsfolk from afar and walking the streets into the darkest hours of the night have drawn concern as well. Though they are watched by the police as well as possible, for now, they seem harmless - aside from the fact that they have yet to speak a word to anyone, and no one has yet seen them eat, or even sleep.
Slowly, people have been trickling into the community centre, families and community leaders had been making their way there for the important meeting, filing and taking seats in the small, cramped and uncomfortable theatre, soon enough the meeting would begin, would the concerned citizens of Silver Falls get any reassurance on the strange happenings in their town? Or would they still be lost in a world ultimately working against them?
Cry havoc, and let slip the dogs of war
