The story of a dog who thinks he's a man, or a man who thinks he's a dog

He was a stringy mongrel, wandering the streets of the city, driven by a ravenous hunger and hunting a quarry he could not define. But he was also something more. Somewhere in the depths of his consciousness was a memory clawing its way to the surface, tormenting him, refusing to let him rest. The memory of what he had once been - a man.

He had fled from the terrors of his past, finding refuge in the quietness of the Island. For a time he lived in peace - until the "sightings" began, visions of horror seeping into his mind like poisonous tendrils; violent acts that were hideously macabre and the thought becoming intense. He witnessed the grotesque acts of another thing, one that glorified murder and mutilation, a monster that soon became aware of the observer within its own mind - and relished contact. The creature would eventually come to the island to seek him out.
