Dave looked up from his campfire, at the full moon, wondering what he just heard. Dismissing it as nothing, he went back to his task. He was making some food, smartphone in one hand, so he could consult the recipe on it. (Sure, he was camping, but it wasn't like he didn't have mobile signal.) He was only cooking something pretty simple, as he didn't want to spend too much time on it. And then Dave heard the noise again. Louder this time. "Awooooooooooooo~"! Dave gasped as he saw some kind of a wolf bound out of the entrance to a forest near his camping spot, and rush towards him. His first instinct was, naturally, to run. So he did (in the other direction of course), smartphone in one hand, the other hand holding his saucepan by the lid. As he ran, the wolf followed, and as it howled, more and more wolves showed up. Dave swung his saucepan at any wolves who got close enough, but for each one he toppled, another one joined the race. He kept running, and as he was starting to run out of energy, his smartphone in his hand pinged. He half-read the notification as he ran. "EMERGENCY ALERT", it read. "INFECTED WOLF OUTBREAK, WOLVES SPREAD FATAL DISEASE." "STAY INDOORS. LOCK YOUR DOORS." "STAY AWAY FROM WOLVES." Dave knew he wouldn't be able to keep running. He was slowing down, his saucepan was getting colder and wouldn't have as much effect too. The food that was in it had fallen out at some point too, so he didn't even have that. Dave got slower. Slower, and slower. And finally, succumbed to the wolves. Each scratch and bite made him transform further. He grew snout, and ears, and tail. Fur spawned on him. He wasn't a furry. He didn't know any furries. He, however, knew what a furry was. He had trolled his children often by claiming they were furries (publicly, in front of their friends). And now he was turning into... no, not a furry. He was turning into a wolf. A very specific type of wolf at that. It was the full moon, after all. Dave finally stood up on his paws, shook himself off, and started to run with his pack. And as he ran, on a mission to transform the entire world, he howled happily. Awooooooooooooo~.... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- quickly thought of and typed out by slipstream/RoL in the early hours UTC+1 of 2017-04-09. maybe contact him if you want: irc: Rai-chan on various networks - irc.rol.im #softhistory and efnet,freenode mastodon: @slipstream@mastodon.social twitter: @TheWack0lian (but barely using it for now, mastodon is much better!)SAUCE00awoo Slipstream RoL 201704 9’
