As Ryan was descending the dark steps to the basement, the stairs suddenly gave way beneath him. As he fell he heard sinister laughter..

Ryan slowly came round to find himself still in the basement. The room seemed still gloomy, but at least he could see clearly.
He felt his sides for blood and bruises but found only fur! He looked at his hands and saw they were furry, with pads and claws. Looking down at his body, he saw he was broader and stronger, with only tattered scraps remaining of his coat. His feet were large and pawlike, having burst apart his shoes. Feeling his face, he saw he now had a muzzle and large pointed ears.
"I'm a werewolf!" he cried "How did I become a werewolf?"
