Once upon a time, in a land not too far away from Southern Europe, Lycuston, there was a conspiracy by the WIC company to bring to life humans with the power of a wolf. On a full moon night, that experiment was quite successful with an actual werewolf being brought to life by the two scientists who owned the WIC company. A biology laboratory was changed into a place where a couple of scientists with evil intentions did insane experiments.

One such experiment was just about to happen where the powers of a wolf were incorporated in the body of a dying man who was also a scientist and wanted to experience this experiment on him. The DNA of the wolf was combined with the DNA of the man with a breed of wolf which was immortal and lived in that part of the world.

The man was later injected with it when he was breathing his last to see if it would work, and to everyone’s surprise, it did. Soon after the inoculation, the man did not move at all. He stopped breathing. As the scientists were looking at the man’s body waiting for a reaction of some sort or to confirm his death along with an unsuccessful experiment, the man suddenly opened his eyes wide in just an instance.

His eyes were red, and he was not blinking them at all; just staring at the ceiling probably trying to understand what was happening to him and adapting to the changes that he must be feeling within him happening. His hands and legs were still not moving. The man stayed like that for more than a few minutes. The scientists were also observing the changes which started to show in him. Wolf hair started to grow on his bare hands and legs. And his body also started to grow.

He was growing enough to tear apart the clothes that he was wearing. It was a shocking sight to see a man turning to a wolf. The two scientists were not sure of their reaction because they had only been trying to see if the experiment would turn according to the way they thought. But the major drawback in their plan was that neither of them had thought about the further repercussions of this dangerous experiment if it were to be successful because to quite some extent they believed that it would have no result.

In the time that the creature lying on the table in the protected room was being observed by scientists through a glass window, it came to life fully as a werewolf. He was a human but covered in hair as a wolf, his white eyeballs changed to red, his canines outgrew his mouth and became distinctively visible. The two scientists, Dr. Hilbert and Dr. Shaw, started panicking when the man-wolf turned towards them.

They were holding each other’s hand and hoping the paranormal creature does not hurt them because he looked so powerful. He had become double his size in length and also in width; making him equal to at least four men put together. But without taking a step further towards the glass window, he turned to the other side and started running wild and free.

Building a crevice in the wall of the biology laboratory which was located far from the city and crowded places. It had the highway on one side and on the other end there was a vast jungle. The man-wolf ran through the wall, breaking it with his mighty body. Dr. Hilbert and Dr. Shaw were looking at the scene confounded in fear. Both of them stood still for the whole time till the werewolf could be spotted.

At the moment, it couldn’t be seen anymore, they looked at each other, and Dr. Hilbert said, “Nobody better find out about this, or we will be behind the bars.”

“What have we done?” Dr. Shaw asked Dr. Hilbert a rhetorical question just after he gave the warning. It was mainly a question which he was asking himself in regret.

“We have been successful, but we cannot let the world know about this,” Dr. Hilbert mentioned again. Extremely confused, Dr. Shaw had his eyes still terrorized at the horrific incident which he witnessed right before them.

“What is he going to do?” Dr. Shaw asked Dr. Hilbert as he was worrying about the consequences.

“We have nothing to do with that,” Dr. Hilbert replied and explained, “We don’t know what happened. We have to make everything look as if we watched nothing happen in front of us.” “Are you with me?”

Dr. Shaw nodded his head at the question he was asked, and gradually they started winding up their tools and equipment to walk away from that place.

“What are we going to do about the broken wall?” Dr. Shaw questioned Dr. Hilbert since it was very much visible that some kind of an incident broke it.

“Let’s cover it with bricks and cement. Since it is the weekend tomorrow, all the workers will be off, and we have with us two days and two nights to fix the things in here.”

“On Monday we will return to work as if nothing happened,” Dr. Hilbert declared.

As they were walking out of the laboratory, the two scientists turned back to check. They were unsure of their next step even after all was said. They were curious to find out if the man turned into a full wolf or if he was capable even of being referred to as a werewolf.

They were puzzled on the way in which they could find this out by themselves without getting caught and also not calling for unnecessary trouble. Being scientists, their profession was driven by their curious mindset.

The Forest Service would have to be approached for help. But that option may turn risky because they were not in a position to accept the truth in front of others. Letting people know what experiment they had been doing would put their careers at stake. It was highly unlikely for them to ask for any kind of help, and they were left on their own for this task.

After much consideration, Dr. Hilbert and Dr. Shaw came up with an idea. They decided to figure out the state of the man-wolf in the days to come by themselves, but the question in their minds was the same – Where would the werewolf have gone in such a big jungle?
