Which One?

The Strange & Unusual Universe of Silver Moon Unicorn

(Lora is one of the many people who has sent me messages after reading my poetry. She had a dilemma that I thought was easy to understand. —Silver Moon Unicorn)

Lora was fast asleep and dreaming away. She still missed her sister and parents. She tossed and turned as she saw them in her dream. Her parents were fighting a werewolf while she hid. She was shaking. She covered her mouth so she wouldn’t scream. The werewolf killed her parents mercilessly and then left. Then Lora was in the woods walking. She stopped when she found her sister’s body. She had been raped and brutally murdered as were the other women.

The scene shifted again. She was in a parking lot. This time she saw a werewolf jump out of a car right through the closed window. Glass scattered on the pavement as the werewolf ran right past her. Then she just knew. Beyond any doubt. That werewolf was her best friend. Was he the one who was raping and murdering the women in town? Or was he like the poor werewolf who was harmless, but still afraid? Was he the same werewolf who murdered her parents and her sister? But she had known him since they were kids. Was he even capable of attacking women like that? She woke up drenched in sweat. She hugged her legs. She couldn’t get back to sleep knowing he was in the next room.
