ANCIENT EVIL STALKS THE KURAI FOREST...
The planet Dumaring in the Draconis Combine had been at peace for decades, until strange raids began against the populace's livestock. A dutiful warrior and officer of the DCMS, Chu-i Uchida, was tasked with ending the attacks, but his hunt for bandits led him into the foreboding Kurai Forest. What he found in the dark wood would defy explanation and leave him a shadow of his former self. Now, only his son can regain his honor, clear his name, and find the truth…no matter how horrifying it may be…

Interesting short story,feels.like there should be more to it......
Not bad , feels.like there should be a follow up to this one . Reads more like Twilight Zone then BattleTech.
Set up for a good story ,but no follow through . Maybe there will be more ? Hint, hint! Kind of reminds me of The Marauder short stories that were published into a collection.
This one felt more supernatural than The Marauder. Those felt more like Sci-fi\suspense.

Fun little spooky story. The setup itself is pretty good, a son trying to preserve his father's honor, classic Draconis Combine stuff. But the implication that there is some spirit possesed Kodiak going around eating cattle is pretty dumb and breaks canon

This was really disappointing. The initial premise had some promise but as it stands, the way it ends leaves you feeling you didn't get a complete story. This is just a snippet - a moment in a larger tale and thus leaves you totally unsatisfied.
