Full Moon Prologue

The brightest full moon light entrances me, its force consumes every fiber of my being. My heart beat increases, the only sound aside from the wailing of wind through the endless silhouettes of crooked pine. I open my arms to feel the frigid wind cut my flesh and take in a last cold breath of humanity.

                My heart grows with every short beat, I feel the curse course through my veins.  Every nerve thrashes and convulses. I watch my fingers gnarl and knot into inhuman paws. My muscles twitch, thrive and jut around my shoulders then down my chest, to my arms and legs. My bones snap, fuse and thicken to support my bestial frame. The veins in my arms pop and swell and hair like needles tear through my flesh, the pain is like knifes burrowing out of my pores.

Before the curse takes me, I whisper

God help me
