“There’s a thing inside all men that even devils fear, coldblood. It’s a monster most of us keep locked deep inside, knowing what will happen if we let it have its head. We feel a flicker of it when a stranger sets foot in our domain uninvited. We sense it stirring in the night at the sound of a creaking floorboard in our home. But we truly feel it waking when the ones we care for most are in danger; our lovers, our babies, and if we let it loose then, God help the fool who roused it.
