I thought I could handle it, but I was wrong. My ex just married my sister at a fancy hotel in upstate New York. The party is just getting going when I reach the last of my strength. I cant take it anymore. With no idea where to go, I run into the woods, hoping to catch my breath. In my panicked state, I get off the hiking trail and lose my way. The music is so far away, Im not even sure what direction its coming from. Thats when I see a lion. I must have lost my mind because there are no lions in New York. My instinct says to run, but theres something in his eyes thats almost human. I see pain and hopelessness, and in that moment, I can relate to this beast. Thinking he must be injured, I carefully draw close enough to see theres an injection dart protruding from his chest. I might lose an arm for my troubles, but I move in and pull the needle.

At first, I imagined the beautiful brunette running toward me was a woodland sprite. Ive been stuck in my manticore form for too long. Soon Ill lose my humanity completely. I dont know who shot me, but with the poison still pumping in from the syringe, I cant turn back. Then she speaks, telling me to please not bite her. Her voice is sweet and soothing. She pulls the damned needle. I immediately shift into a man, wanting to know more about the angel who saved me. So, when she runs, I chase her. Why shes more scared of a naked man than the monster? I dont know, but Im willing to spend the rest of my life trying to find out.
