Re: White Orb

Nice description, but way too short.

Couple of quibbles: once the guy changes to a werewolf, I would think he wouldn't care about whether or not he hurt anyone. I don't have a problem with him retaining his human memories (after all, there aren't any werewolf experts out there who can tell you what goes on in their minds after they change - so your interpretation is as valid as the next guy's); however, even if he retains the memories, I think the bestiality of his nature will drive him to kill no matter what (that's MY interpretation).

Also, the sound of a wolf howl nearby would drive me to leave the area IMMEDIATELY, whether I liked woves or not - even if I was getting it on with a babe! What if the animal's rabid? I recently read a news story where a man managed to kill a rabid coyote that attacked him, and he got chewed up pretty badly - and coyotes are a good deal less dangerous than wolves.

Lots of potential here, but needs more development. If this was one of my student's stories, it'd get a "B" from me for "good effort."

BTW, I'm encouraged by comments that some readers are making that they wouldn't mind seeing a little gore. I have some werewolf stories that I intend to submit (probably starting tonight) that DO show a good deal of torn throats and glistening viscera. We'll see what develops!
