The stalker had done just what the name it's chosen name would imply. It had stalked. Where it had been led was here, a park, in the middle of this large city. The stalker didn't necissarily like it here, but it didn't hate it either. It would rather be home, on the barren landscape of what was called the Canadian Shield. It had all it could ever want when it was there. Now... well, now it had food, too much food perhaps, it hadn't eaten in weeks. Too many choices.
Now, though, it was in a tree, staring down at the top of a head, a head that was to become it's first... foreign... meal...
From the darkness inside the slightly coloured leaves of the tree extended what coudl be called an arm. Dark, browny-grey in colour, it looked as though it was covered in a leather that was paper thin. Thin it was, the arm was long enough to be a small adult's, but around it was barely the size of a child's arm. Just as slowly as the arm was extended from the tree, fingers became uncurled, stretched. There was a soft sound of cracking to any who was truly listening, as though the bones were not used to such activity, as well as the soft sound of stretching leather.
The stalker had chosen here and now because it was hungry. It didn't think to look for any who might witness the act, why should it worry about these things. At a soft rustle of wind it struck, the arm shooting out quickly, suddenly. It was something like would come from a horror movie, the arm gripped the woman by the hair and pulled hard. She was lifted off her feet and vanished into the tree, with a scream that could make the bravest tremble.
Barely a second later, there was the crash of a large mass, or perhaps two masses, falling from the tree, and landing in the bushes. And the rustling sound of a losing struggle.
