100x450 - 14 - nothing prepares you for the werewolves
We know that werewolves exist, but this doesn't make it any easier when you witness one manifesting. First there is the immense pain and the resulting screams, yells, grunts, and growls, as bone structures rebuild themselves underneath the skin, and musculature rapidly increases in density and size, then the jaw reforms itself, canines elongate, etc.
Once the pain is over, extreme discomfort comes with the rapid growth of the fur. It is extraordinarily itchy and feels like wearing a thousand scratchy wool sweaters, the kind given by the strange aunt who smells like cabbage and air freshener all the time.
