A little Appalachian horror story
Monster Gold by Cassandra Vaillancourt
100 Word Story writing prompt entry

Warning: The author has noted that this contains the highest level of violence.

The prospectors staked claim to the old Wolf's Hallows gold mine.

Mining went smoothly at first but the miners became unnerved by the constant howlings of the wolves which sounded closer by the day.

Incidents then started happening as equipment got destroyed and men vanished after mysterious blood-curdling screams.

A security team was quickly brought in to guard the camp. The howlings got closer followed by attacks by large humanoid wolf-like creatures.

The security's arsenal was no match against these creatures as they laid waste to the camp.

There were no survivors and the monsters blended into the night.

Author Notes
I thought up this story from a couple of shows: Yukon Gold and Monster Quest. This also doubles as a great Appalachian tale too! Should I crank out some more Appalachian horrors?
