I assumed his brother was the monster all along and the wolf they killed was just a random wolf.

Yeah and then he killed the monster thinking it was his brother.

No, I think his brother and the monster were one and the same, and proved unkillable.

Before the hunt There's been demon watching the brother from the lilac bush. Demon digs a whole, probably why it smells like lilac. [1/2]

The jealous brother is thanked by the demon when he returns.The demon won't look at his brother because there's something by the lilac bush.

The double was a subconscious projection that made him see his brother when he looked in the mirror. His real brother survived the gunshot

The brother he originally killed was the actual monster (and isn't dead). Brother that came back is his real brother, and the rest is --

-- mental anguish of the main character trying to live with the fact that he murdered (what he thought was) his brother whilst still --

Lets find a meaning............ his brother was digging that hole. The same hole the MC put him in. And now he sleeps there

They didn't kill the monster. The wolf was, in fact, a doppelgänger who took his brother's form. He goes back, and finds his brother alive.

That's not the point. You said "why do you think this is stolen", and the answer is obvious.

It's a significant amount of a work posted without the author's permission. This is hardly an ambiguous situation.

I'm still confused on why you consider this stolen. If he added a line "by emily carroll" would you still consider it "stolen" (nothing

would change except the author credit, so according to you it would in fact steal be posted without permission)
