The sound was what caught my attention. I looked up, presuming bats were flying near my head. Saw only the full moon. The sound grew closer, like hoof beats. I felt the breeze as the animal whizzed out of the shadows behind me, followed closely by two larger creatures.
I stopped walking, and held my breath. They hadn't noticed me in their hunt, and I didn't want them to. As they sped past me and into the town common, I could see them more clearly: something like a silver fox stealing away from two coyotes. They gave up their pursuit, regrouped, and ran behind the library into the open field.
