Mortal enemies Georg Znaeym and Ulrich von Gradwitz are pinned under a tree. Trapped, the two have a change of heart and swear off enmity. They begin calling out to their parties. Unfortunately, their voices attract wolves.
This story is non-speculative, but has been included in enough anthologies of horror fiction to be considered "genre."
First published in the Bystander, January 17, 1912.
