  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.

  After a month had passed since the last murder had occurred, however, and the moon became a crescent again, the creature came creeping out of his hole' when a man Walking in a park bent down to fix a crease in his pants, he had no idea that the deaths were about to start all over again, starting with his.

  月亮开始呈月牙形的时候人们就开始失踪。首先是一位深夜外出数赠货券的老太太。然后是一位导游，他在城里往返奔波，制定要求的截止日。最后是一个本地工匠，他的遗体在通往一个神秘大坑的裂缝附近被人发现。罪犯作案好像没有任何标准，但清除小组全体成员开始认为这个罪犯可能不是人，而是某种动物。

  整个小镇都知道这一危机后，除了最勇敢的人以外，所有的人都离开小镇“走亲戚”去了。新闻报道铺天盖地，地方经济严重受损，有好几对年轻人立约在周末成婚。当地警察的证件也不再管用，人们叫来联邦调查局的人，到这时凶杀才停止发生。

  几个星期过去了，记者不再乐于报道这件曾经轰动一时的大事，人们也开始慢慢地打道回府。让大家引以为荣的是，晚间活动又开始活跃起来，生活似乎正在恢复正常。

  可是，上次谋杀发生之后只过去了一个月、又是一轮新月的时候，怪兽又爬出洞了。一个在公园散步的人弯腰抚平裤子上的皱痕，他不知道这时死亡又将降临，而且从他开始。
