Werewolf

a mere contest entry

The full moon rises

The land illuminate

The deer lurks around

 

A deer leader feels so alone

It looks to the south, sees a shape

“It can’t be a sort of cat”

It thinks

The shape stands up

A shape of a wolf

 

RUN!

The deer screams to its fellow friends

RUN FOR YOUR MERE LIVES!

The shape runs, attack the deer

The deer gets a smell of blood

From its drooling mouth

The last thing the deer sees

Are its friends that got away

That won’t do a thing to help it

 

A human, a lost human

Is crying

He looks up to the sound of twig breaking

All the sudden he is pinned down

A head, shape of a wolf

But with a humanoid body

The human looks away to the slowly rising sun

He close his eyes and brace for impact

 

A police is called to investigate a murder

As they surround the dead body of the lost man

There was another human near by

A heavily sleeping human

Naked, with blood of a deer and a human

In his mouth.

The police took him to the police station

To a cell with 30 other prisoner

And 10 police.

The full moon rises…

Reviews

[MoriartyMesa]

I enjoyed this because you saw the animal mind at work, tame, savaged, civility exposed than lacking.

[Veritatis Cupitor]

wow... nice job
truly liked the deer's perspective. and the last line made me want to read more!

this really could have gone dull, i mean, there are just sOo many stories about werewolves nowadays. and even though the actual content in your story is familiar, you've told it in a new way which is why this is so refreshing

[whispereversolightly]

very powerful read. Likable

[Roger Morrison]

Very nice! I like how it's from the deer's prespective to start. Then it goes to a more generalized view, and the mood becomes sort of bleak and hopeless. Altogether, chaotic but well paced. I like it alot, great job!
