I started this story some time ago as a first person narrative, long before I got into audio drama. I found my original scribblings and began adapting it for radio. I hope to get a full story (3-4 episodes) done before too much longer.
The Wolfman Journals
I sit here an old man, telling my tale to those who would follow me in the hopes that it will be believed. What I am about to tell you is not myth, legend, fiction, superstition or lies, but the unadulterated Truth with a capital T. At my last birthday, I turned 142 years old. I may not sound that old, but I assure that I FEEL that old.
Some of you, MOST of you, probably disbelieve that I am that old. Well, you know how humans think of canines having “dog years”? I think the same thing of humans. And before you scoff once again, I must tell you -- no, I must ASSURE you -- that I am not human. I am of a race older than humans known as LUPUS HUMANUS MAIORIBUS in Latin. Today you would probably call me a WEREWOLF.
I’m going to let that sink in a moment while I give you a little history about my race.
The origins of the Lupus Humanus are lost even to my people, but we weren’t centralized or formed in any one area. Werewolf legends from all over the world are usually referencing sightings of us in way or another. Most cultures of the world have told stories about shape-shifting wolves and people from the Skinwalkers of South-Western United States to the Loup-Garou of central and eastern Europe. I can tell you, however, that we have always been leaders of society as well as protectors of humanity from various sundry forces from across the veil.
I’m speaking of the Fae, devils, demons, ghosts and other supernatural horrors.
I’m sure this is a lot to take on faith with just our first meeting. Let me assure you that this is all entirely true. Each and every last bit. I realize that you are going to want some taste of proof, so sit back, relax and prepare yourself for my personal tale of redemption, savagery, blood and magick.
More to come soon.
