Read This: Stealing Death by Brent Knowles

Cynthia’s fingers clutched the steering wheel tightly as she drove the beach road, her headlights barely cutting through the summer night’s fog. Steve wanted to apologize but did not know how.
“We’re going back tomorrow,” she said.
“I tried,” Steve protested, hating how weak his words sounded.
She sighed. “Damn it Steven, you acted like I wasn’t even there tonight. This vacation was suppose to… you promised me that the accident was… was behind you.”
“It is,” he said. Cynthia had looked beautiful, the night had been calm, just a warm breeze to caress the skin, and the food had tasted great. But Steve had been distracted. Even when they talked, he could not help himself from looking around. Looking for her, the other her.

“I’ll look,” he said, finally. He opened the car door and walked down the road, afraid his legs would fail him, afraid he would fail Cynthia again. The moonlight revealed a man hunched over the dog.
“Is your dog okay?” Steve called, his aching legs wobbling from exertion.
Later Steve did not remember which happened first: the colors bleeding away to cast the world under a filter of burnished sepia, or the ground shaking. The man looked up and Steve shrieked, stumbling and covering his eyes. When the shaking stopped, when the color returned to the night, the man was gone, leaving behind the dead dog.
The man’s face… it was the same as the man who had eaten Steve’s daughter.
