Description
In the lonely town of Ephraim, Michigan, the urban legend of the Deerhead was nothing more than just that: A legend. A twisted story of a half-man, half-deer who lurked in the forest, passing the tale along to gullible ears. A man mutated into animal, leading a vicious pack of deer to pick off travelers; that one always gave the listeners a good laugh. A sweet deer, lurking through their backyard to slay their dogs and cats? What a cheap scare. A chilling tale to frighten foreigners, a stern warning to keep children from straying too far from home. It was a story, a legend, a fable, a piece of fiction that could never be allowed to become more. He wasn’t real, the locals told themselves, it was just a story. Pets and livestock began vanishing, strange sickly deer were spotted observing the towns, still just story. Nothing but a story, and the phrase was repeated in the heads of the locals over and over and over again. The Deerhead was fiction, it wasn’t true and it would never be true.

Even when he was looking right at them.
