the narrator closes the lantern tightly so the old man is

not awakened by the bright light

explanation:

his tongue, i believe, was bloody and hanging out of his mouth.

he looked as if he were hungry.

he has several wolf-like qualities; a gray coat, sharp claws and yellow fangs.

those eyes made me feel, dear reader, like the end was near.

well i said my prayers, however, he simply turned and limped off.
