Bang! Oh Crap, I Did Something Stupid...

They all watched as the child choked in the clearing that the Moon Goddess possessed. He clutched his neck with pale, strained hands as his face grew from red to blue to purple. In the light, he seemed like a crystal about to shatter as his shift ran through him, over and over again; his nails lengthened before drawing back; hair grew from his every pore before retracting back into the skin; his e...

A Better Man

As I heard the cry of the last wolf, I knew it was over. It didn’t seem the least bit fair as it barely had a chance to begin. Then again nothing ever is on this side of the valley. Fair that is.

A tired dog

I bare my sharp teeth as I lay, nearly lifeless as the last of the wolves run from their smaller, quicker, young relative. The coyote.

I howl out, "Oh how could you do this brother of mine" But no howl back.

The Masked Games

The game had begun. Everything happened quickly, I couldn’t focus on the people around me. Rather, I ran, and ran, and ran—my feet colliding into each other. The ground was damp, my once clean hands now soiled along with my pants. I forced myself to get up, shouting was in the distance. I needed to go. I rested on a tree for a brief moment as I caught my breath.

The masked games have begun, teen...

“Nice try, Monty, but plot twists are more my thing.”

Wolf Pack

I watched in fascination as each pack member transitioned before my eyes. My body stood frozen to the ground, my eyes wide, my breath coming out in cold puffs of white. Why can't I move? I panicked “Run Krystal!” my mind shouted. “Run now, or they are going to tear you apart!”...
