[Formerly Featured/Novella/#2 in Horror] C'è qualcosa di misterioso in questo villaggio -- questa tana di silenzio, con persone esasperate. Nel 1922 mio padre mi ha raccontato di un'entità senza volto che si nasconde tra di noi in questa piccola e isolata parte della Russia. Gli abitanti del luogo hanno provato questo vivo terrore per un intero secolo e gli unici abitanti sopravvissuti alla vista della Folveshch soccombono in una vita di cieco silenzio. Il mio nome è Stefan Alyovich e le persone attorno a me stanno cambiando. Loro ogni inverno scivolano in uno stato di grave follia e io mi chiedo: quanto tempo ci vorrà prima che io diventi l'unico sano rimasto? ...l'unico sano rimasto con la Folveshch.

- WINNER in the @BeautyAndTheBeastUK Writing Challenge Contest!!! - Beauty is not purely skin deep. Children don't necessarily understand this, however. My daughter was suffering from bullying at her new school. I wrote this to show beauty isn't just on the outside. You only need to look. As such, I think it's a fitting entry into the wonderful @BeautyAndTheBeastUK contest. I am stunned that it won! I hope you enjoy it.
