The Change (Sutter Memorial)

Jack had been feeling uneasy for last couple of days - he found myself falling asleep during his break - the constant nightmares and howling during the night kept him from having a restful sleep. Jack could see bags forming around his eyes - he'll probably have to take a short break into to be 100% - he knew that forcing himself wouldn't do anything good.

And yet, he found himself with an abundance of energy, he felt that restless energy within him. He found himself fixing things around the hospital - like straightening a portrait that was slightly tilted or checking each pen to see if they worked. He told himself it was just restlessness from the lack of sleep. Which, he also assumed was the cause of his constant irritation - finding himself annoyed with people and their excuses.

He sighed. Better drink my coffee and get back to work.

Moon is Half.

"Doctor, are you feeling well? You don't look good." Says one of the nurses.

Jack shook his head light, "Nah, just irritable - damn wolves howling these nights.."

"Why don't you take an early day. Some fresh air might help you. Place is rather loud." Whenever a nurse says a place is loud, that means that its queit. Don't want to jinx anything though. Sort of like breaking a leg.

"Yeah, I think that would be best." He agreed, "thank you."

He took the moment to notify the nurse at the desk that he was taking an early leave for personal reasons before heading to his locker to change and get his stuff. Soon, he stepped outside breathing in the air - smelling in sharp scent - before he began toward his car.

You keep walking past the lot. For some reason, you just keep thinking that your transportation is just a little bit ahead. You keep walking for a while before stopping at the river. You look at your reflectio in the water, but its not you. It is a wolf staring back at you. Its teeth bared.

Jack jerks his body away from the river, "Holy Shit!!!..."

Before gingerly looking back at his reflection - he see if it was still a wolf - he see that's normal again. Jack shakes his head again - he must be losing it if he starting his reflection as a wolf. Jack tries to make light of it as he laughs lightly - even going so far as to howl jokingly.

He realized that he had past his vehicle some time back - and shook his head at his confused state.

He then sees the moon reflected in the water. She is half full, pleased with her children, but stern in her stance. He looks up and sees the moon, the moon. It is everything; it is all powerful. And it has chosen him. He feels a howl well up inside him, he feels his throat expand to shape that howl. He struggles to hold it back, struggling hard. And then a soft voice whispers to him. "Why?"

Jack gulp the lump in his throat - feeling goosebumps appear around his arms - he glanced around. His mouth opens but no sound comes out - rather he find himself licking his lips after finding them dry. He crosses his arms as he closes his eyes for the moment to help keep himself ... keep himself what? He wasn't quite sure - but felt something clawing out from him - something that he need to fix. Yet, that feeling continued to swell until his eyes snapped open and as being guided they found themselves staring at the visage of the half-moon again.

Before he got the urge to just run - and run he did.

(anyone else, especially the Sworn, is free to join in, we are at 44th and the river.)

You find yourself running faster than you ever though possible, your four feet carrying you along, but still that beast inside you is destperately trying to get out.
"Let it out, come on." The voice whispers.
