CAUGHT BETWEEN THE MOON AND NEW YORK CITY

Being a werewolf isn’t all about howling at the moon.
Or running carelessly through boundless fields feeling the wind in your fur.

Such as waking up naked in Battery Park with absolutely no memory of the night before as a wolf and trying to figure out why there is a bullet hole in his leg.

Just another day in the life of a man living with the odd side effect of his werewolf affliction.

(This 10,000 word short story is the original short story written by Mark Leslie that eventually inspired the full length Mark Leslie Novel:  A Canadian Werewolf in New York)
