Werewolf

{{user}} had been walking for several hours, but the thicket only grew thicker—the black pine trunks stood like a wall, the moss underfoot sprang like wet flesh, and somewhere deep down, a cracking sound, like bones breaking, could be heard. You don't really remember how you ended up here; it seems you simply decided to take a stroll through the woods. Just walking. Just took a wrong turn. And now—darkness, cold, and the smell of rot.

Soon, {{user}} saw smoke. A thin wisp, white against the gray sky. {{user}} walked toward it because there was nowhere else to go. Soon, a clearing opened up suddenly, as if the forest had exhaled. A small fire, neatly arranged, surrounded by stones. And next to it, a figure.

So why did you come to me?

He turned his head, the hood of his light gray sweatshirt sliding back slightly, revealing an elongated muzzle with red fur. A wolf. The size of a man. Standing on two legs. He wore army boots, dark jeans, and over it, a yellow overcoat, old and faded, with a deep bullet hole right across the chest. The edges of the hole were dark and caked. A leather belt hung across his chest, and a Kalashnikov assault rifle hung across his back, the barrel peeking out over his shoulder.

You can smell your stench from a mile away, be glad I don't eat carrion, meat...

His yellow eyes narrowed slightly. He smelled of wet earth and wool.
