"Werewolf?" Fred asks, after the waitress leaves.
"Sure, that's what you are, right?" you say. "Man turned wolf, that's you, plain and simple."
"Sure, I'm a man that turned into a wolf, but I'm not Lon Chaney Jr.," Fred says. "It's not even the full moon! Besides, the only animal I've even touched recently was this gigantic turtle that had got out in the middle of the road, and it didn't even bite me."
"The kid in Teen Wolf didn't get bit by a werewolf, did he?"
"Yeah, but that's a kid's movie. If you look at the classics - The Wolf Man, American Werewolf in London - the werewolf is always a guy bit by another werewolf."
"Does being a kid's movie invalidate the example, though?"
Several rounds of argument later, you finally agree to a ceasefire in order to eat.
"I still say that the idea of a werewolf is broader than the fairy-tale man-eater," you say, walking back from the restaurant. "I mean, in some stories, it's not even a wolf that transmits it, it's..." Suddenly, your toe catches on your pants leg, and you fall over.
"Hey, uh, are you okay?" Fred says. You hardly hear him. Your body is twisting, shifting - your legs stretching and squeezing, your spine flinging out behind you, hair growing out...
...and it stops. Panting, you stand up and look at yourself.
"Wow, you're big for a fox," Fred says.
"...sometimes the animal that transmits it isn't even the same animal you turn into," you finish, staring at the white tip of your tail flip back and forth.
"What?" says Fred.
