RUDY, THE WEREWOLF
by Lori Himmel
Rudy means “famous wolf.”
The moon lit up Rudy’s bedroom.
“I’m going to be a werewolf for Halloween!”
Then…
TWITCH!
WHOOP!
ZAP!
“What’s happening?”
Flesh to fur.
Fingernails to claws.
Bulging muscles and torn shirt.
Wolf-like face and terrible teeth.
“I’m a real werewolf!”
“ARH-WHOOO!”
Rudy frightened trick-or-treaters and smashed pumpkins.
One kid screamed, “I thought werewolves were just a superstition!”
“OH, no we aren’t!” roared Rudy.
He growled and slobbered through the streets.
“RAH! HA! HA!”
Rudy shook the ground when he walked.
THUD! QUAKE!
Then, the clock struck midnight.
“Time to be Rudy again! Wait! Why didn’t I turn back?”
“ARH-WHOOO?!”
