It is Friday night, a good time for Friday Fictioneers. We like to tell stories of 100 or so words according to a photo prompt. We are hosted by Rochelle Wisoff-Fields of Addicted to Purple, author of Say Kaddish for Me, From Silt and Ashes and other books. Congrats, Rochelle on your book launch. Here’s my 100 humble words for this week.
Dusk had fallen. Night coming fast. The urge stirred in his belly. He sucked in his breath. Clenching his abdominal muscles, he willed all to be still inside. He did not want to give in and lose himself. A growl rumbled in the back of his throat. He clawed at his neck. Hair was growing on the back of his hands.
He glanced upward. A sliver of moon slid out between the clouds. Can he hide from it? Can he hang on? He ducked into the darkness within the walls. Damn, too late! He raised his head and howled.

Ooooo nice transformation scene. Creepy
Thanks! My lack of sleep is helping me out here. 🙂
Lily
Now this is a perfect spot for such a transformation to happen. I like the idea of him hiding from the moon as if that would change anything. Nice one, Lily.
Thank you, Amy! Transformations are possible here. How lucky we are to have FF.
Good job, Lily! You depicted this scene so well, I could see/feel the change happening.
Thanks! It was great fun.
Great piece Lily. Gothic and authentic.
Tracey
Thanks, Tracy!
Oh, great werewolf transformation. The fight against the inevitable is described so well.
Thank you! I never knew it could be so much fun writing about transformation. 🙂
Lily
Well described. He resists each stage in his transformation but is powerless to resist.Fantastic ending – the howl becomes his expression of despair.
Thank you, Margaret!
Lily
Oh the angst in knowing what you might cause being in the wolf stage… a cursed life without the wolfsbane potion.
So much fun in the angst, though. 🙂
Lily
I like the way you built this story up from approaching night to his involuntary transformation. Good story. 🙂
Thank you for reading and commenting. I appreciate it very much.
Lily
Poor guy. Well written.
Thank you!
Whoa! Now that’s a story! Gives me goosebumps.
Dear Lily,
I could feel the werewolf’s pain. Well done.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Thank you, Rochelle.

Ooh, I haven’t read a good werewolf story for a while, Lily, and this was good. Well done. 🙂 — Suzanne
Thanks so much, Patricia! I am so late in replying. Caught up in busyness.
