The moon hangs low and heavy, painting the twisted forest in silver and deep blue shadows. A small wooden cabin sits in a clearing, a single square of amber light spilling from its window. You look down at your own hands—they are now massive, clawed things, covered in coarse hide and ending in razor-sharp points. A deep, involuntary howl tears itself from your throat, shaking the still night air. Inside the cabin, a young woman turns. She sees you. Her scream is sharp and clear, shattering the silence. She stands frozen, her eyes wide with terror, her knuckles white where she clutches a double-barreled shotgun. What will you do?
