Bobby lay lifeless in a metal cage. One after another the wolves would use all their might to bash into the cage. " Anng ..anngk the wolves cried after hitting the unforgiving steel bars.
Five wolves circled the cage. They smelled sweet flesh. It had been a while since their last meal. They were all bleeding and battered from trying to get to Bobby.
As the full moon rose above the tall trees the wolves grew tired and left the cage, intending to return.
Bobby woke up from the frosty dew now covering his exposed skin. He was shivering and hungry. He tried to get out of the cage to no avail.
A man dressed in overalls and heavy boots walked up to Bobby. He was a local farmer. Taller and stronger than most men, his nickname was 'Tiny"
Bobby was afraid and started to thrash around the cage trying to escape.
"Whoa boy!"
"I'm not gonna hurt cha". Tiny reassured Bobby that he was safe.
Tiny brought out a fifth of Jack Daniel from his bag.
He sat down a d began to drink straight from the bottle.
After half the bottle and telling his whole life story it was 3 am. Tiny went into his pocket and brought out the key to the cage.
" Y'know....(hiccup) since we are best friends now...I'm gonna let chu out.". Tiny opened the cage and Bobby ran out.
The farmer cried out "Wait...my friend!"
Then the farmer started to cry.
Bobby hid behind the tree and watched the man cry himself to sleep. He drug the man inside the cage and put the key next to him. He closed the gate.
As the old farmer lay there some thing he said came across Bobby's mind.
The man said"whether a man or animal...everybody needs friends."
Suddenly Bobby felt weak. He fell into the brush below him with a thump.
He heard howling and breaking of foliage. The wolves were coming! Bobby was in great pain. He rolled around on the ground grunting while hair appeared on his skin and he transformed into a werewolf. His teeth were sharp as razors and he stunk like a skunk.
The wolves ran up to the cage and surrounded it. They howled and tried to wake up the farmer
They did not seem to care that it was a different person. They just smelled meat.
Bobby came from out the bushes howling. He had been away from the pack for a few days
The wolves were so happy to see him they all ran to the den with him in celebration.
Bobby was confused about
how he became human. But he knew in his heart his friend Tiny had something to do with it. What Bobby didn't know was that he would become human again on the very next and every other full moon.
