The Damned Thing
by Ambrose Bierce
This fascinating fairy tale, as its main theme, presents the essence of nature and the natural world that is finally unknowable - and incomprehensible. Told from several different perspectives, the story focuses on a terrible fatal accident that is thought to have been attacked by a wild animal. But does this definition correspond to the reality of the case? At least one witness has been persuaded otherwise. A paranormal story that was once poorly adapted for an episode of the television series Masters of Horror.
