Description:

The name has haunted my sleep and made my awake hours uneasy for as long as I can remember.Other children whisper that he is part man and part animal -- wild and blood-thirsty.

Like his namesake, the weasel, he hunts by night and sleeps by day, and he kills not because he is hungry, but for the sport of it...I know what I have to do. Weasel is out there. He could come here and hurt us. Maybe Pa can wait for the day when we'll have the law to take care of men like Weasel. But I can't...
