The Wolf at the Door

Norman was fed up with the noisey barbecues coming from the neighbors. Talking to them accomplished nothing as the racket extended far into the night.
He saw an ad for a negotiator in the paper and sent an email. He soon received a response. They would meet at a coffee shop and discuss terms.
Pablo was short, hunched and hairy. His fee was reasonable. A deal was made as money exchanged hands.
Two weeks later another barbecue took place. Norman closed the blinds and locked all the doors. He had a premonition. Night came and soon after, the screaming began. Then it was very quiet. Norman peeked through the blinds . It was a full moon.
A moment later there was a hard knock at the door, followed by a growl. Right then he knew he should have taken advantage of the sale on silver bullets at Dick's Sporting Goods.
