    I had expected something, but not this. As the full moon rose over the skyline, he began to change. Whiskers sprouted and a tail appeared as his spine extended outward, adding bones, muscle, nerve, skin and hair as I watched in horrified fascination. The transformation was as revolting as it was sudden. And then there he stood, or rather lay, before me, a fully transformed being of legendary horror, the Were-Possum. The stench was unbearable. I fled, gagging.

    Lycanthropy is a recurrent F.A. theme, about which several observations: 1) Teresa raises wolves, 2) Teresa was raised by wolves, or 3) Teresa is a closet Bush 41* fan.

    * George H. W. Bush’s Secret Service code name was Timberwolf.

    Hmmmmm… don’t think he/she thinks she/he is a wolf. Not enough hair. Black digits? A lizard maybe?

    With superhuman powers of deception and stealth, the Were-Possum continued to stalk its prey, lying silent in the road, waiting… waiting… just waiting. It’s protective aura, definitely not redolent of almond typos, made it nearly invisible as I maintained a distance that placed it beyond my line of sight.

    I was a were-wolf for a bit. Once every month, for several days, I would become a soul-less slavering beast, long in nail and tooth but short in intellect. Ah, those were the days. That may also have been a Duran Duran song i heard. I tend to confabulate as time goes on.

    Nah… just keep to yourself and avoid the moonlight and it’s usually okay. It’s all the Moon, you know.

    Is this a shaggy wolf tale? A shaggy arm-tail? Condoms will not protect from inner claws—furry claws that we call “flaws.”Is tonight’s a full moon?

    Poisoning may also occur following picking the leaves without wearing gloves; the aconitine toxin is absorbed easily through the skin. In this event, there will be no gastrointestinal effects. Tingling will start at the point of absorption and extend up the arm to the shoulder, after which the heart will start to be affected. The tingling will be followed by unpleasant numbness.

    Vote early and vote often. Apparently, this werewolf voted five times. You’d think the officials would have noticed that the beast’s digits were already dyed.

    I suspected that werewolves wore long sleeves, but how fashionable to roll up the sleeves.
