• The curtain draped over the window pane. The moon rippled through the creases of the cloth. I laid there restlessly. The moon light shone directly over my bed, leaving a faint, yet calm glow throughout my room. I couldnt sleep, i didnt think i could. The rain pattered against my window.

    *plip* *plip* *plip*

    That was the sound keeping me awake. I turned to my side, closed my eyes, and listened to the rain.

    *plip* *plip* *plip*

    It was getting louder. So once again, i sat up, rubbed my eyes, and laid back down. This time i concealed half my face with my blanket. I listened again...

    *plip* *plip* *plip*

    The same sound dragged on for a while. Then it stopped. The rain ended. So now I closed my eyes in the sudden silence. Maybe i could sleep now. But before i knew it, i heard it again.

    *plip* *plip* *scraaaatch*

    I sat up. What was that? Sounded like something clawed onto my window and dragged its uneven, jagged, and sharp nails across the window. No. Thats not possible. Suddenly i found myself thinking about monsters. Monsters arent real i kept telling myself. Yet something inside me was telling me otherwise. So i shrugged, and laid down. The sound was different, must be that the rain is picking up again.

    *blop* *blip* *blop*

    Finally, i found myself sleeping again. Only to be suddenly awoken...

    *arroooooooooo*

    What the hell was that?! Whats going on here? FIrst scratching noises... now this? But im alone, all alone. My own apartment, just me, no one else. So what is this?! I was finding myself creeped out and spooked. Could it be wolves outside? There is a full moon... not that that has anything to do with it... but what is this? The rain picked up again. This time, i heard thunder. It was loud and unsettling.

    *rummmmble* *BOOM* *plip* *plip*

    I closed my eyes. And finally, at last, fell asleep...

    -The Next Day-

    I woke up. Stretched and yawned. What a long night it had been. I got out of bed. Tiredly i got in the shower. Wait... i swear that i saw my window... it wasnt wet. Thats impossible, it had been raining all night. I stepped outside of my house. Nothing. No water. My neighbour was out getting his newspaper. I waved to him.

    "Hey there neighbor" he greeted.

    "Hey Tomas" i greeted back. "Pretty crazy storm last night eh?"

    "Storm?" He asked. "What do you mean"

    "Well it was raining all night"

    "Huh... no it wasnt, i was out all night, it was a beatiful and calm night"

    I was shocked. No way, i thought. But what the hell was it that was happening all night? I waved good bye and ran to my room. Whatever questions i have, my window has the answers. But as i was running to my room, my T.V caught my attention. The news was on...

    [News Reporter] "Good morning Arizona! Today we have breaking news. Recent sightings of a hairy man, known as the wolf man were occuring all night last night. Although researches say this information could be fake, the sightings keep coming. More on this story later.. on the other hand, the oils spill...."

    I ran upstairs. Could it be? No way, thats bogus. Its all a joke... i froze. On my window... there was... no way, impossible... this is fake, it must be a joke... but... on the window was ....a huge claw mark...
