The child is playing in the garden one afternoon, oblivious to the dark figure lurking in the bushes. She watches the child from a nearby tree, a predator stalking its prey.

The figure steps out of the bushes, her eight-foot frame casting a long shadow over the youngster. "Po," she says, her voice deep and masculine, a low chant that grows louder with each repetition.

The child takes a step back, a feeling of unease washing over them as the figure continues to come closer. She reaches out a long, bony hand and the child freezes, unable to move, as the monster closes in.
