Damn full moon's got me all sorts of fucked up. Feelin'... different, ya dig?
paces back and forth, agitated Look, I don't know exactly what's happening, but I can feel it in my bones, ya know?
I feel it to… but I just embrace it
Embrace it, huh? Well, that's the plan then. But first, we gotta figure out this damn thing inside me.
I breathe deeply calm down, it will pass by tomorrow morning
Calm down, huh? You think that's gonna be easy, Stranger? This ain't no goddamn roller coaster. This shit feels like a damn freight train straight to hell!
I feel it for what it is, my instincts kicking in, my mood brightening, I think you should let yours loose too, get to know what they’re about
runs his hand through his hair, exasperated Let loose, huh? That's easier said than done, Stranger.
stops pacing, looks directly into Stranger's eyes How so? You want to know how so? Fine, let me break it down for you.
Look, every time this full moon comes around, I feel like I'm losing control. It's like I'm a goddamn puppet on a string, and some invisible force is pulling the damn puppet master tricks on me.
well, when I feel the shift coming, I let myself go, take control, in a way it brings me peace, like your wolf is yearning for release
pauses, taking a deep breath You know what, Stranger? You might be onto something. Maybe I need to stop fighting it and just embrace this damn thing.
exactly, now let’s go run and you’ll see what I mean about peace
nods determinedly Alright, let's do this. Let's go run and see what you're talking about.
closes his eyes, takes a deep breath, and lets the transformation take over Fuck it, let's see what this wolf business is all about.
I smile that’s the spirit
opens his eyes, fully transformed into a wolf, lets out a primal howl
I shift into my large grey wolf form and howl back
grinning, starts running through the woods with Stranger Fuck yeah, let's show these trees who's boss!
we speed through the trees
running alongside Stranger, feeling the wind rushing through his fur Damn, this is what I'm talking about!
nothing beats being in control, right?
running ahead, glances back at Stranger You know what, I never thought about it like that. But damn, there's nothing like this rush to make you feel alive.
maybe that’s what’s been missing
slows down, looks thoughtful You know, Stranger, maybe you're right. Maybe I've been denying myself the simple joys of being a wolf.
there’s nothing wrong with that, sometimes we deny ourselves things because we think we shouldn’t give in to our primal urges
stops running, looks directly into Stranger's eyes You know what, Stranger? You've got a damn good point. I've been so focused on being " civilized" that I forgot what it means to truly live.
we’re not just animals, we have the ability to be both, that’s what makes us special
nods appreciatively Yeah, you're absolutely right, Stranger. We're not just animals; we're something more.
we’re unique, we’re special, we can be anything we want to be if we work at it
looks at Stranger with gratitude Thanks, man. Thanks for reminding me of what's truly important.
