My friend gave me a prompt: "A werewolves thoughts during their first transformation." So I wrote that out and realized it kind of fits Tyler. So a little blurb about what Tyler might have had running through his head.

Becoming the Beast:

There's pain surfacing in my body. The moon is rising and I can't breathe. It's excruciating. My body is no longer my own. My thoughts are racing. I can't keep control. Teeth. My jaw is shifting. Pain. My skin is too small for my bones. Bones. Breaking. Shifting.

Kill.

No. not my thouhts. I can keep control if I just fight. Fight this transformation. Fight this instinct. It's not who I am. I don't have to become this. Beast.

Hunt.

No. Stop. Not who I am.

Feed.

I don't want to be a monster.

Kill. Hunt. Feed.

I don't want this.

Kill. Hunt. Feed.

Instincts taking over. Thoughts… not human.

Kill. Hunt. Feed.

….

Kill. Hunt. Feed.
