Deep within the trees, a lyncanthrope creature, once a human, is the underdog. There are others exactly like him, but they are the alpha and the omega. The only difference between him and the other wolves is one thing: he has managed to keep his human emotions, thoughts, and dignity intact. He is a very apethetic, emotional creature, trying to find his way in this dark world he is trapped within.

He has starved himself for days, hiding in his dark cave as to keep himself from being wounded or killed by the others. Upon finding a group of teenage boys, the wolf believes that he may have found himself a complete feast. But an attack from the others ensues, and he finds himself saving the remaining surviver.

Stuck between the choice of keeping his human diginity and the bloody urges he can never control, the werewolf must find a way to help the boy escape before it is too late for him. And the howling is getting closer...

The Visit by The Dragonlord Completed
Now this novella requires some explanation. This story, the first of a trilogy, was inspired by the reports of two policemen (in England) chasing a glowing sphere in their car through the countryside one night. (It's even on YouTube). There have been similar reports in other countries as well, of course. It made me wonder, (if it was true and they weren't both dreaming or under-the-influence) where such a sphere might have come from and why. And that led to an extrapolation of what might happen if it had landed......and that, in turn, led to a second part, and my agent at the time suggested that if I turn it into a trilogy, it might get published. Unfortunately I began to run into trouble near the end of part two, and so I never did finish the third part. Also, you should bear in mind that this was written in 1969, at the height of the cold war,long before the days of mobile phones and other modern technology. And long before Spielberg's magnum opus;- Close Encounters. Interestingly, several aspects of the story have become true, but for different reasons than mine. You'll see what I mean. I am rather pleased that at 21 years old I inadvertently predicted what would prove to be true in 2012.

The Promiscuous Ghost by The Dragonlord Completed
This, although written in story form, is actually a short, humorous film. It's completely visual humour, (the best kind as there are no language barriers). It nearly got made, too, but back in 1968 when I wrote it at the tender age of 20, I couldn't raise the additional 25K needed for it. Pity. If it was made today it would still be just as funny, - easier too, with CGI, but more expensive. So, producers, - cough up!
