Dear False Positive Readers,
This is Ashley Walton, Mike’s sister and editor of False Positive. I have really terrible, awful news and a tiny bit of good news.
You might have noticed it’s been a couple years since we’ve posted anything on this website. Well, brace yourself for the saddest update I’ll ever share.
I hope our ‘clever wolf’ does not find out the hard way that men-folk often fear and hate what they don’t understand.
That’s the cleverness of this scheme: our hero is presenting himself in terms that can be understood. And the tests would be easy to pass: silver and holy water and wolfsbane would be no more or less dangerous to him than it would be to a human. No reek of wrongness. No infernal pact that can show up on a clerical scan. The priests are gonna LOVE this guy.
No page 4?
Shouldn’t this be page 4?
Go on..
Is there a Clever hound page 4? In your recent pages nav to the right it goes page 3 then page 5.
It’s a good thing humans are so good at accepting and reintegrating those who have repented of their crimes.
Is there a page 4? Or is this a cunning ruse as well?
Is there a page 4 that we are missing?
Wait, I just realised something.
He’s a reverse furry.
Now that’s horror.
This story goes from page 3 to page 5. Are we missing a page or is there a typo?
Oops. I guess that’s what happens when you try to post with a fever.
I’m 75% sure that this is definitely Page 4.
“It works 100%, 80% of the time…guaranteed!” 🙂
He should present himself to a Franciscan community, then they would see him as a repeat of the miracle of the lone wolf. On the other hand, trying to be human seems an homage to both certain legends about the origin of fairies, as well as to Orwell’s “Animal Farm” although that dealt exclusively with domestic animals.
I love the naivete of this story–how the wolf thinks humans are going to be LESS awful than a pack of slavering, bloody, predatory, murderous, gore-dripping wild animals . . .
