Hey all been reading around this site for quite awhile and while this is not a yiff story (yet) would like some opinions

The only thing Tim heard was the crunch of foliage under foot. He had no idea how he had ended up in this dense forest, but he knew he had to get away. "Crunch" He begins to walk faster as he feels eyes on him. Glancing back over his shoulder he doesn't see the tree root that trips him. The next thing he knows he is staring into two deep golden eyes and a maw full of white teeth. A deep growl comes from the things chest and as Tim begins to shake he closes his eyes and waits for the worst he is ripped back to consciousness by his phone vibrating it's way off his night stand. Grumbling he swings his legs over the side of the bed and picks it up. Flipping it open he sees a text from his best and only friend Kristin. "You better be ready for work you lazy ass".Groaning he stands up and looks at his clock, Cursing himself for sleeping in on the first day of his new night-shift job, he throws on his shoes and runs out the door of his ground level apartment.

As he is jogging the sixteen blocks to work he looks up at the dusk sky realizing it is a full moon. Smiling to himself because he loves the moon he walks up to the warehouse and into one of the open loading docks to wait for the first truck to unload. As he is sitting against the wall spacing out he feels a hand on his shoulder. He spins around to see Kristin smiling at him. "Jesus Kristin you scared the hell out of me" Her smiler gets even wider as she says "I know that's why I do it." Well stop it your going to give me a heart attack" he mumbles under his breath, his heart rate going back to normal.She just laughs and walks away calling over her shoulder " make sure you make a good impression tonight". He thinks he catches a slight wink and is about to call back a smart comment when the his of air brakes draws his attention back to the bay door as the first truck backs up to have it's cargo unloaded

Six hours later as the final truck is pulling away Tim sighs and rolls his shoulders mumbling to himself " what do they put in those boxes lead?!" he looks around scanning for Kristin hopping to snag a ride home. Not seeing her he shrugs and hops off the loading ramp and begins the walk home. As he gets a few blocks from the warehouse the moon happens to catch his eyes. He continues walking just staring at it thinking to himself that he had never seen a moon that bright. When he finally comes to his senses he realizes he is only a few blocks away from his apartment. Just then he feels the hair on the back of his neck beginning to rise as he feels eyes boring into his back. The top of his apartment complex comes over a stand of trees and he breaths a sigh of relief laughing at himself for being so stupid , when he hears the bushes to his left rustle. Tim manages to get a half turn before a black blur crashes into him with what seems to be the force of a truck. Stars flash before his eyes as his head is bounced off the sidewalk and as they clear he is staring into the eyes from his nightmares. He throws his army up just as the beast lunges for his throat. Sinking it's fangs into his arm Tim hears someone screaming only to dimly register it's him. While his arm is being ravaged he slides his free arm into his jeans pocket and pulls out his knife and slams it into the thick fur of the things side hoping to hit something vital. As if by some miracle it growls and let's go of his arm. Before Tim can react it tears off into the bushes. He props himself up on his good arm and staggers towards his house leaving a trail of blood up to his door. Opening it he falls inside onto his mangled arm. The world goes black for a second and as it clears he catches a glimpse of his arm. Seeing the muscle and tendon is to much and his consciousness slips away like water through s sieve his last thought before falling completely into the abyss is how is he going to make it to work tomorrow.

"Tim. Tim!" He hears voices from what seems like far away. The next words he hears confuse him. "damn I knew I shouldn't have left this to anyone else"."huh what" he manages to groan. "Tim open your eyes and look at me" there is a slight shake on his right shoulder. He manages to force his eyes open just slightly and sees Kristin's caring face not two inches away from his. " What's going on Kristin?" As soon as the words leave his mouth it all comes crashing back. He looks around and sees he is on his couch. Lifting his left arm he sees in entirerly wrapped in gauze. " how did this happen Kristin?" he raises his left arm for emphassis with a puzzled look on his face. " Well I came here to tell you that work was canceled today... they wouldn't say why though" she says with a slight glint in her eye that he doesn't quite notice. "then when I opened your door it only opened about a quarter if the way before it got stuck. I stuck my head in to see what was blocking it. Which was you damn near torn to shreds and in a pool of blood. I tried to fix you up best I could" she sighs " all those first aid classes finnally payed off". Tim tries to sit up only to fall back down with a groan. " Your arm wasn't the only thing that got tore up, your sides were also gashed open" she stares at him " what happened to you?"He looks down to see his chest wrapped in gauze as well and that all he has on are his boxers." where are my pants?" Tim stutters " O , um they were bloody and all torn to hell so I took them off. Don't look at me like that we have known each other since elementary school" she says with a smile. "You should be thanking me damnit, you could have died!" She glares at him, her deep green eyes flashing. "Well I didn't" he says with a shrug. Kristin lets out a deep sigh" why do you always have to be so difficult?" she shakes her head and looks him over" well since you don't give a crap are you hungry? I could cook you something" Tim thinks for a moment." Oddly enough I'm ravenous" Kristin smiles mischievously. "Well what would you like?" His eyes lose focus for a second." Huh, what? O yea food there should be some hamburger in the fridge." Kristin shrugs seeming disappointed "well meat is meat I guess. Why don't you get some sleep while I cook this." Tim sighs " what are you my mother?" He sits up slowly exspecting pain again only to find that it is barely there. Walking to his room he sees himself in the mirror and notices that it seems what little fat he had on his already lean frame was gone. He shakes his head and thinks to himself " I must have cracked my head harder then I though". The second his head hits the pillow his asleep He reconizes where he is instantly, back in the dense forest, execpt something is different. This time he feels no fear of what's to come. He heads in a random direction waiting for it to show itself. He stops as he feels eyes on him. "come out, I know you are there." leaning back against a tree he waits. Within seconds a shadow separates from the darkness and walks over to him in complete silence. "what do you want?" He demands, as he looks her up and down. He isn't sure exactly how he knows it is female but he knows. The next thing he notices is that she towers head and shoulders over his 6'1" frame, covered in midnight black fur with a very distict canine muzzle. The next thought is that he is face to face with a werewolf, yet still unafraid. He taps his foot " well? Are you going to answer me?" her lips part in what appears to be a fierce snarl until he hears a slight coughing sound and relizes that she is laughing at him. She then points a clawed finger at his chest. He is yanked from sleep by Kristin with a hand lightly on his cheek , " O, your awake" he notices a slight blush to her cheeks. " Yea, I'm awake what's going on?" He groans not all the way awake. Kristin coughs lightly clearing her throat " the burgers are done". Tim sits up and follows Kristin out of the room. He looks at the stove clock to see it's 6 pm. Sighing he heads into the kitchen with her.
