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.
And that town’s name was “The internet”.
Ha – excellent!
The bonfire was built at Gamergate Plaza.
Well, that escaleted quickly.
It jumped up a notch.
Hmm. Okay, so maybe it’s not about a town full of werewolves after all! Looks like a nice morality tale is brewing…
Well that conflagrated quickly.
Well THAT escalated quickly.
So… happy ending??
My bet is on either that the spirit of the wolf will come haunt everyone, or the rest of the pack will get their revenge. Or they will go to the house and find dozens of dead bodies. Or the wolf is actually the father of the vagrant. Damnit, you never know with false positive.
The town will be infested with Gentleman Dog Ghosts!
So much for the hopes of a happy ending!
Escalated quickly?
Go back a few centuries and odd people often ended up on the pyre or got offed
in the dark…Fact, in the middle age, gendarmes of a regular sized village had to deal with more week end murders than the whole city of New York today.
Don’t be sad people, it’s a happy ending. The bones that the dog was searching so hard for were inside of him all along!
That’s quite a big bonfire for one dog.
Well that escalated quickly
Taking a turn into a tale of ghostly revenge? Or will his brethren from the mountain avenge him instead? Both? Hmm, I’d almost guess neither. Something from way out in left field, probably.
Rather, his brethren from the hills. Could’ve sworn it said mountain way back when I read those early pages.
Some may call mob murder and getting rid of the evidence; or typical anti-witchcraft violence. I prefer to see it as “the community accepted our protagonist as one of their own and treated him just like they would any other human.” Isn’t that special?
I’m guessing the new stranger is a werewolf. Or the hound isn’t actually dead, its called “The Clever Hound” getting caught by a bunch of townsfolk and burned is the opposite of clever.
I don’t suppose there’s room for some kind of “hot dog” joke here, is there?
Must be Calvinists; if they were Catholics, the dog could have appealed to the story of St. Francis and the wolf. That town was able to forgive that wolf even after he had devoured dozens of them, and they had him dead to rights, whereas this is pure hearsay.
That would be an argument to bring up in court…The peasant & the wolf in court with the kangaroos.
I’m guessing there are 2 morals. 1. The dog should have been happy to be a dog. 2. The thing you destroy may turn out to be your salvation. The town will get overrun with demonid cats! Lol
Silly Gesh! There are no morals here.
These are the sorts of events that make one wonder why anywolf should *want* to pass as human.
