“Birthday Parties Aren't for Werewolves” by Sydney Fisher

Submitted to Contest #272

How a werewolf ends up at a mostly human birthday party on the night of the full moon is beyond me. Yet, here I am, surrounded by normal humans as if tonight wasn't the singular most dangerous night of the month. Admittedly, my friend Tesha is probably to blame, the extrovert. She sits across the table from me, sipping blood from her trendy Stanley tumbler like she hasn't a care in the world. And maybe she doesn't.

Submitted to Contest #230

“Flying ducks, what is this, the zoo?” Margo whispered, her fingers flying across the keyboard of her mobile phone. She was perched carefully on the edge of her desk, back against the wall. Her business partner furrowed his eyebrows and studied her with interest. Margo didn’t curse but even this was taking it a bit far, he felt. Still, Margo tended to be quiet unless she truly had something to say and so he waited for her to continue, silently guessing what she was thinking. Toby waited and waited and still Margo typed away, not acknowledgin...
