“I AM A WEREWOLF BUT I’M DIFFERENT” by Chuck Suave

Submitted to Contest #281

I am a werewolf, but I’m different. I am trapped between two worlds. A beast in the flesh and a man in memories. My very existence is a defiance of nature's order. An anomaly created by moonlight and torment. I vividly recall my transformation into the man-beast I have become. Beneath the light of a full moon, the change began. I had been camping and fishing at the lake. Doubling over in pain I thought I’d just got a tummy bug. The pain intensified and my veins were bulging under my skin. I could feel my muscles twisting and rippling in my b...

No Phone! No Sat Nav! Where the hell was I? Jock MacLintock was having a rare, quiet Friday night in. Feet up on the reclining sofa and watching crappy American cop dramas on the TV. This was bliss he thought. His phone buzzed loudly, it was his daughter, Mary. “Dad! Dad! We’ve missed the last train home” she sobbed. “Mary it’s OK, calm down and tell me where you are and who’s with you.” “Rhonda and Keith are here. We’re at the Hillpeat underground station. It's not a good area Dad, we’re scared.” “Mary, do you see anywhere you could go, t...

“The 'Steam And Sip' Eavesdropper” by Chuck Suave

Submitted to Contest #275

It was a dreich Monday and one that promised more rain later. I’d grabbed an earlier bus that morning, I needed to get my usual seat and my Monday morning fix. As I hurried along the high street towards the café, The Steam And Sip, I looked up at the darkening clouds and quickened my pace. I found ‘my spot’, a small corner seat by the café window. This was the perfect spot to do some people-watching outside and people listening inside. The acoustics were perfect here, not too loud to drown out conversations and quiet enough to pick up on t...

"I've never liked dogs," I told my therapist.Here I was, a forty-year-old man and I was in counselling because a couple of dogs barked and lunged at me. I was literally scared shitless by it. I couldn't go on like this and needed help.Rewind several years to me as a young child. My most vivid memory was of me, my brothers and Mum out for a day at the park. A dog was running around barking and jumping up on folk. I was a bit scared so I tried to stay away from it, however, it sensed my fear and started running towards me. I shouted to my mum ...

Author bio

I invented the clan system in Scotland, tartan and the recipe for haggis. I was also the first person to reach the summit of Ben Nevis in flip-flops. I swam from John O'Groats to Shetland, "There was no Cineworld there though, so I just swam back." I have written one thousand highly regarded books and a team of experts are attempting to grasp their meaning. The chief expert said, "It might take a century to decipher all of them." I am also a brilliant storyteller — but not all of them are true.
