Cure this madness!

This moon cycle sickness,

delusions of wolf-men roaming

the cobblestones, clawing

at the minds of innocent bystanders,

forcing them into a dark descent

towards lunacy.

They are nothing more than dogs,

hounds turned feral, not

beast men hunting, scaring

children into their mothers arms

with every snarl and growl,

fictitious creatures, no more

than an old wives tale.

I will prove them wrong,

among the wolves,

I will prove them wrong.

The last journal entry of Henry Thompson, who was found dead a few nights after the above was written. Authorities say he was found in the woods, missing an arm, with lacerations to his chest.
