Bright Paper Werewolves

By TheRavenclawNinja

It was at half moon that Remus Lupin found himself alone again.

Alone in every sense of the word--three of his friends dead, one good as dead, his parents dead, everyone just seemed to be dead. His memory even drags up his still-born baby sister, his dog that he accidentally killed, and this bottle of Firewhisky, now drained.

Everyone wants to leave--whether it be a job, a family, a country, even life itself--but no one can find the exit. And Remus is the king of the them, groping in the dark for his exit, desperate to find some way to drop it all and leave. But even that wouldn't stop the choking feeling of solitude.

So Remus twists open another bottle and waits for the moon to fill up, for another night of bright paper werewolves, for another full moon of loneliness where his only emotion is animal.

A/N: This is unbeta'd. I would really appreciate any constructive criticism. Also, this was inspired by the Guided By Voices song "Bright Paper Werewolves". FYI, if anyone follows my Percy/Penelope, put me on alert. There is to be massive rush of drabbles to come!
