Wow! I love your style of writing!
It paints a very clear picture, but also allows me to let my imagination run wild.
I always believed that the best stories aren't the ones you read or hear, they're the ones that play out in your head as you read the words, and the best storytellers are the ones who make those images come alive.

Comment from Judy Lawless
This is an interesting piece of fiction for sure. It all began so innocently, and then bam, you had me rattled. I never imagined it would be a story about a vampire, or maybe a wolf. Hmm. Well done.

Many thanks. I wanted to take something innocent and try to twist it a little. Just coming at things from a different direction.

You're welcome. You did a good job.
Comment from The_Boy_Whodunnit
I really like the first paragraph, it's almost a foreshadowing of what is likely to happen in the story. It had enough in the story to keep it interesting throughout and keep you wondering. A story well told.

I wanted to play around with something that may have been somewhat familiar and take it somewhere else. Many thanks. G
Comment from aryr
Wow, this one was amazing, G. It was rather creative. I would never believed that I was reading a werewolf story as I started. This was done very well, the story was initially about a man with claustrophobia but easily changed to the werewolf concept. It was greatly enjoyed. I loved the picture.

Comment from Spitfire
What happens when a man with claustrophobia gets bullied by his boss and walks into an elevator? It's not a joke, of course. Turning into a werewolf must be tough when there's a crowd around. Some humorous moments in this story as in the man who decided to wait for the next elevator and "it's hard to laugh with no throat." Love the use of three gerunds that start with 's' to describe his getaway.

Comment from Katherine M. (k-11)
As a lift-o-phobe, I felt great sympathy and empathy for the narrator... for about seven floors. Then I just began to feel relief that in fact there are significant differences between us - I have hairs on the palms of my hands, not bloodshot eyes.

Comment from Earl Corp
This should have been a horror contest entry, though I have seen violence warnings used for much less. Is it a werewolf? Very nice job. Stay safe and stay healthy in the new year.

Yep, werewolf. The descriptions aren't extreme hence no warning. Much appreciated. G
