Skinwalker

In a remote Navajo village, Lena, a young woman, walked to her grandmother's house one evening, feeling uneasy. Her grandmother, wise in the old ways, sensed the presence of a skinwalker, a shape-shifting witch. As they sat by the fire, the creature approached, shifting between coyote and human form. Lena's grandmother threw sacred herbs into the fire, and Lena flung a handful of ash at the creature. The skinwalker shrieked in pain and retreated into the night. The village elders performed a cleansing ceremony the next day, and the community strengthened their bonds, ensuring the skinwalker would never return. Until one dark night..
