Werewolf story
 
He ran, he couldn't say where he was running or even why he was running. He only knew that he was terrified and that there was something hot on his heels. Something he couldn't see, but if he slowed he felt hot breath at his neck and the snapping of jaws. There was some thing bearing down on him! He lost all sense of himself and he heard a distinct crunching. A wet snap like the tearing of soaked wood, a tangy metallic scent Oh God, oh God!....

With a jolt Sebastian Grimmer sat up in his bed. Nightmares again. Always nightmares, ever since his thirteenth birthday three weeks ago. His parents said it was just teenage angst. He got up and stumbled to the bathroom turning on the light he looked into the mirror and discovered that he was covered in blood!



Twenty years later....

Sebastian couldn't say to this day whom it was that he had killed but that had been his first turning. It was also the only time he hadn't been in complete control. He remembered how his father had taken him aside and explained that the first turning was always the most difficult and as he got older he would learn to control it, even to the point of shifting at will. Of course they'd made sure to tell him how important it was to keep his "condition" a secret. Werewolves were few and far between after all.

Aside from his lycanthropy he lived a fairly normal life, he ran a small hardware shop in a sleepy little town, went to the bar every evening and at night he preyed on bums and hookers to satisfy his cravings for humans. Not a bad existence even if it was a little lonely. Not that he lacked for the attention of females. He was a handsome fellow with thick auburn hair and dark eyes, he was quick to smile and to crack a joke and he was renowned for being pleasant and friendly. They didn't know he ate bums and hookers, ironic as it was no one even cared about bums and hookers unless they found out they'd been eaten and then it wasn't the bums and hookers they cared about it was the killer.

So Sebastian kept quiet and maintained his image as a friendly and dependable neighbor. The one who would fix your porch or your car for a jar of jam or a slice of cake. Yes sir he was Mr Neighborly himself at your service. At thirty three he was also the most eligible bachelor in town. It was this that led to all of his current problems....

Her name was Alice Hanson and she had her eye on him. She was new in town, single desperate, twenty four and determine to have Sebastian if it killed her. (Which it very well could if she wasn't careful). Oh it had started out so innocently. "Oh hello Mr. Grimmer my door won't hang right could you please fix it?" of "Oh well fancy that my cabinet's broken would you be so kind?..." Sebastian had found that the cabinet had a large gaping hole in the front. When he'd asked how that happened she merely shrugged and said. "Accident?". Reflecting back on the incident he was quite positive she'd smashed the cabinet on purpose. She was getting way to close for his liking and if she caught him during one of his turnings it was all over for him.


As it was Alice had taken to following Sebastian whenever she could. Of course she did her best to stay out of sight. One night as she was shadowing him she saw something that shocked and terrified her....

It was Sebastian, he was doing something that filled Alice with horror...he was kissing one of the less respectable barmaids from the pub! Well this would not do. It seemed that if Alice was going to get his attention then she was going to have to raise her game, so to speak. She wasn't about to be outdone by some loose barmaid! Who did that harlot think she was jumping into the arms of the nearest readily available man?! Angrily she stormed off to re-think her strategy. Had she stayed for another few minutes she would have seen Sebastian shift into a wolf and devour the barmaid.
