Don’t Cry Werewolf
by Savanna Kougar


Tuesday howls and yowls, shapeshifter lovers.

Wow, what a ridiculously busy day it's been... and so many interruptions as far as getting my post done -- like my dialup went south for a time. The good news is I did 'finally' get the first chapter of Fortunate Wolves entered in the *So You Think Can Write* contest. That was a real trial, just getting the manuscript pasted into their form. Anyhoo, I used a different pen name, just so you're not confused. If you want to check it out, here's the link: ~soyouthinkyoucanwrite.com/manuscripts-sytycw-2013/fortunate-wolves~

Okay then, I wanted to follow Pat's lead and write a sexy, slave-market flash scene. But time isn't on my side. Instead, I dug up a very *unpolished* except of a werewolf WIP I began back in 2008. It's got the Halloween vibe, and is on the dark and depressing side because the heroine is seriously ill -- so beware...

~~~~~~

My working title is ~ Don’t Cry Werewolf

“This should be the spot.” Weak, in pain, she shuffled slowly. Focusing on each step, she tried not to stumble, not wanting to fall, hurt herself so severely she’d have to crawl into the isolated forest.

“The lucky spot,” she encouraged herself. “The lucky spot where I get eaten by a werewolf.” She whispery-sang those words to herself over and over – forging ahead at a snail’s pace.

The night-chilled air wheezed in and out of her lungs. Her feet drug over the dead damp leaves from last autumn. There wasn’t much spring foliage to hinder her way.

“Here, little werewolf,” she called out. Again she laughed at herself. She needed a big monstrous werewolf, actually. “Here, big horrible nasty werewolf,” she called out instead – several times. She chuckled, faltered, the effort costing her.

~~~~~~

Horrorville is Here... and it ain't Halloween... oh how the Kougaress wishes all horror scenarios would be restricted to B movies, Stephen King novels, and similar fiction books -- also, to Haunted Houses, other Halloween-theme fun events and activities... but, no, the dark-side psychopaths are brewing up their evil-regime tyranny in a gargantuan cauldron straight from the pits of hell -- within our country and around the world. For example all you have to do is look at the brutality and sheer cruelty being perpetrated on the people during the so-called shutdown. Here's just *one* of the latest outrages, and it's tame when compared to other jackboot attacks. This, my darlings, is what they plan for all of us, and much, much more heinous criminal-perv behavior that is simply beyond description and the imaginings of most of us... those of us who love our sister and brother human beings. Those of us who love Mother Earth, her creatures and her lands.

(NaturalNews) It is now becoming obvious to nearly all Americans that the Obama administration is running a pernicious, punitive, selective "shutdown" that's designed to hold the American people hostage until Obama gets his way. His "ransom demand" is total capitulation to his demands for endless spending, the total takeover of medicine by Obamacare, and the centralization of power in the hands of the few.

To put things in perspective, the Pentagon gave out only 14 contracts on September 3, the first workday of the month.
