I thought it was going to be werewolves at the beginning! Great little piece!

Well, I was, of course, hoping that opening phrase’s typical familiarity would lead people to jump to the more common conclusion as to what it referred, but I am not surprised—with your affection for the horror genre—that you’d go where you went.

Glad the story still worked for you! 😊

I was certainly torn! But I had my suspicions (based on how much horror I consume) that it was a red herring! Well done!

What begins as social discomfort ends as a decisive act of protection, framed by moonlight and long-suppressed truth.

Good one!

Typo: “just” twice in line 3

Thanks! Yeah…I wrote that line a few different ways and guess I flubbed the final edit. Or maybe I just really just meant it! 😂
