SCENE 1

For several minutes the ear-piercing shrieks could be heard all down the street before they metamorphosed into an extended period of bawling. It set off a chain reaction amongst the animal population across the estate. Cats screeched, dogs howled and barked, fuelling an atmosphere of terror on what would otherwise have been an ordinary, yet bitterly cold and quiet winter’s night.

Neighbours aplenty were now twitching their curtains, but they saw only darkness and shadows. The shadows, long and menacing to the eye, were provided by a clear and starry sky amplified by the presence of a full moon. There was a heavy frost signifying the undeniable onset of winter. Little could be seen by those looking out into the night from their artificially-lit living rooms. But it didn’t stop them peering between linen curtains to try and glimpse the source of this harrowing noise.
