"A common misunderstanding is that we are wolves. We are not wolves. Have you ever seen a wolf with dentures (I mean their own)? We look like wolves. Sometimes we act like wolves. We are 'as if' wolves. The ontological 'as if,' as in 'I may look as if I'm a wolf but I know I am not one. At least I'm pretty sure. What does ontological mean again? 'Wolf' is simply a metaphor, like 'gainfully employed.' "
"The day of the ceremony I got up early and started practicing my 'transformation face'. I knew that a dignified transformation face was probably beyond my reach--I just wanted to avoid looking ridiculous. You can imagine the difficulty. Not to be too indelicate, but the experience of morphing from human into wolf shape is a bit like evacuating your bowels, having an orgasm, regurgitating a week's worth of dinners, and giving birth to a baby all at the same time. It makes for a full evening. If the wrong people witness your transformation your social calendar empties out rather rapidly.
I spent most of the morning in front of the mirror, but I'm afraid the best I achieved was the classic 'My groin just exploded!' look."
Be sure to pick up the new collection of humorous horror stories, Blood Lite II: Overbite, edited by Kevin J. Anderson. Lots of werewolf goodies therein, including the incredibly witty "Shaggy Dog Story."
