  • Nursing Home Werewolf Fan Fiction

    August 15, 2012 /

    From an email I received from my aunt:
    I had a few mini strokes last night followed by one big stroke. I’m okay now but I wanted to let you know what happened just so you won’t worry too much. I know how you worry.
    So, the lunar marriage of my lycanthropy problem and my high blood pressure caused me to have a sudden change into the werewolf, while I was having the big stroke. I can’t give up cheeseburgers like you can.
    The result of the stroke was a temporal locked-down syndrome which paralyzed my entire body, except for my eyes. So, any danger that I posed was to those who might faint at the sight of me.
    You should have seen Doris!
    My body shut down to the point of appearing dead. Right now, I am emotionally exhausted.
    This morning, I had to listen to some kids watch some crazy movie for the first time. They were so proud of themselves. I don’t think they even watched the movie.
    I hope you can come over this morning. I need a human lap and some sunlight.

    August 15, 2012 /

    We played a show at Rutgers. We almost got sandwiches from one of the grease trucks. I sensed bad news and was glad he did, as well. There were plenty of snacks in the Cap and Skull room.
