I don’t know if I can shoot a man.”The old woman cackled. “Can’t shoot ‘em, but you can wallop ‘em to death with a poker.”Elizabeth blanched. “That was before I knew they were men.”“Man, beast, don’t matter. Something aims to kill you, your kin, your friends, you kill it first. You weren’t carrying that poker to protect yourself against no wolf.
