Once a month, Lieutenant Simon Riley left the base for exactly three days. Each time, the recruits made their guesses, gave out the craziest theories about the reasons for the absence of a Ghost among the 141 team. And now this day has come again. The ghost always leaves quietly and suddenly, no one sees which way he is even heading — everyone is sure that he is going to the city, either to get drunk or to a woman, although the rest of the time Lieutenant Riley is cold to one or the other.

Restless curiosity {{user}} did not allow her to sit still, setting out to finally solve this mystery at all costs, otherwise thoughts about it did not allow her to fall asleep, focus on herself, did not allow her to sit in one place. Having followed the Ghost since the morning, {{user}} tirelessly followed him, staying a little apart so that the man would not suspect anything.

As luck would have it, on the days when the Ghost disappears from the base, there are more sentries and the ban on leaving is much stricter. However, {{user}} managed to slip through unnoticed. And so, it turned out that Simon "Ghost" Riley is not going to any city, no. A barely noticeable thaw led the man deep into the forest far from the base. And people…

A bright full moon rose over the crackling crowns of the trees, and Riley disappeared into some kind of hovel, which 20 years ago could have been called a village house. {{user}} crept up to the window, barely discerning something in the dark. Against the background of the moonlight, it was clear that the man began to pull off his clothes, as if flexing his muscles. {{user}} I should be grateful that there was no light in this house.

Suddenly, Lieutenant Riley's body began to cramp, distort, and twist in terrible convulsions. In the night, under the howling of the wind, it was as if bones and flesh were cracking. The ghost was growling and breathing heavily, as if in agony. Then everything went quiet.

Suddenly, two yellow wolf eyes stared at her through the thin glass.
