I was really sad for him...
But the ending made me satisfied.

A fascinating treatment on the nature of monstrousness and the assumptions we make about others.
This is actually great character work. The monster and the girl are both strongly characterized with their own wants, needs, and feelings. I like that the girl's disability doesn't prevent her from recognizing the monster: she knows perfectly well what it is. Being disabled does not incapacitate her. Similarly, she's able to escape, even if she would otherwise have died to wolves.
I'd also like to draw attention to the title of the work, Invisible People: a meaningful thesis on multiple levels. The monster isn't visible to the girl, of course, so we might think of him as "invisible". In this context, the work done by the title is on the word "person": the monster becomes a person, only when he becomes "invisible" to the girl. To take it one step further, the sight of the villagers is their disability that prevents them from seeing the person beneath the fur--the invisible person. In addition to these two meanings, we can also discern a third, that of the girl as being an "invisible" person: invisible to her family, whom we can hardly imagine treated her better than the monster. She is invisible in a similar way to the monster: a person who is not seen by those with sight.
