You blink your eyes open, a throbbing pain in your head. As you try to remember where you are, you realize you're lying on a dirt floor surrounded by towering trees, their gnarled branches blocking out most of the sunlight. This is definitely not your apartment.

You sit up, feeling unusually aware of every scent and sound in the forest around you. The earthy smell of crushed leaves and damp bark fills your nostrils, and you can hear the scurrying of small creatures, the rustling of foliage in the breeze. It's as if your senses have been heightened tenfold.

A gnawing hunger overcomes you suddenly, an insatiable craving for meat. You can almost taste the bloody flesh already as saliva pools in your mouth. What's happening to you?

Reaching up, you run your fingers along their pointed tips, feeling the soft tufts of fur at the ends. A chill runs down your spine as you realize your appearance has changed in this strange, unfamiliar place. Scrambling to your feet, you search for any reflection to confirm your suspicions. A small puddle nearby offers a glimpse of your new visage – glowing yellow eyes, sharpened teeth, and nails that have transformed into wicked claws. You look like...like a werewolf from one of those fantasy novels you used to read. A low growl rumbles in your throat as you take in the sight, a sound that would have once filled you with dread.

The snap of a twig makes your head whip around. There, standing just ahead on the narrow dirt path is a young woman in a red hooded cloak. She clutches a small basket, various baked goods peeking out from under the cloth covering. Her green eyes widen in fear at the sight of your monstrous form.

"Stay back you beast!" she cries, reaching for the axe sheathed at her hip. So this is a fairy tale land, and you've somehow become the legendary villain.
