Fiction
This is one of my very first stories. It was written in 1996 and was supposed to be the first section of a werewolf novel I decided to write, but never finished. Looking back on it, it needs an extensive rewrite, as some parts jar a little. It is overly descriptive in some parts too - I’d start again from scratch as I think it is a little amateurish. I’ve uploaded it here as is. Reader discretion is advised as this contains mature themes and strong language.
