Journal entry

 * Here's how I recall it:
 * I wake up at the crack of dawn, as always, but then I looked up - and beheld a blood red sky. I think to myself - that there's an ill omen.
 * I light my pipe, hunt down some bread, then pull on my galoshes and head to the water. It's cool out, so I think, maybe I should go fetch a thicker jacket. But I don't, for it's getting warmer already, the sun being out now. But the sky, it's still blood red... An ill omen.
 * Once I get by the water, I look, and there caught up in the nets is a human head. It was already bright, so I could see it staring at me, all bug eyed.
 * I look around, not a living soul to be seen. So I shoot off to town, to fetch the Guard.
 * I stand there, watching them gather up the bits, and I think to myself, the Beast's done this, sure as day.
 * That's how it was.
