Moonlit Metamorphosis: The Tale of Callum's Transformation
0 Points

The nursery was bathed in silver moonlight.
The baby boy slept soundly, round cheeks rising and falling, until the first ripple passed through his body—a shudder so profound it shook the pastel animals on his mobile. His name was Callum. He was six months old. Outside, the full moon hung heavy over their country home, vast and watchful. Inside, a horror unfolded in silence.
Callum’s limbs jerked, arms bursting longer, pudgy fingers stretching, head lolling as his soft downy hair darkened and thickened. A faint, confused whimper pulsed in his throat, the sound thin and tinny. His onesie stretched across a broadening chest. His legs, once chubby and stubby, shot past the edges of the crib, toes twitching, bones elongating painfully fast.
He opened his eyes, irises gleaming amber—a predator’s gaze. He wailed, the first note babylike, then sliding queasily, impossibly, into an adolescent’s yelp. “M-mmm-Muuuh—” He didn’t know what he was trying to say, but the word tried to form. “Mu-mma!” His voice cracked, torn between infant babble and a deeper, surer tone.
His skull reformed with bone-popping clarity. Paws—God, hands—sprawled into claws and then back as the moonlight hammered at his skin. Fur prickled up and down his arms. The scent of milk soured in his nose; new hungers awoke.
Neurons fired like rapid lightning—memories, suddenly, of colors and shapes, became words, then sentences. His mind barreled through years in seconds, blinking at the onrush of knowledge, primitive instincts mixing with a human’s logic. He remembered nothing, then everything: playpens, first steps, cartoon figures, all collapsing into a flood as puberty roared, twisting his body. His chest ached. His jaw sharpened. Dark patchy hair sprouted beneath his arms. Muscles bulged beneath skin and fur.
The pain registered, animal and brutal. He howled, the note deeper, thick—a teenage bellow bursting from lips that minutes ago could barely nurse. Sense exploded behind his eyes; curiosity and confusion and a wild, unstoppable hunger to move, to hunt.
He staggered upright, his flesh still morphing—a monster caught between ages, between forms. The footie pajamas ripped away. His babylike wails were gone, voice now impossibly deep and throaty, trembling with the strange memory of babyhood.
He blinked. Confusion and fear warred with monstrous cunning. He remembered his mother—her warmth, her lullabies—but somewhere inside, a wolf howled at the moon, hungry for the night.
Somewhere downstairs, the clock struck midnight.
And Callum—teen, beast, and something else—stepped into the moonlight, his childhood slipping away with every breath, a memory devoured by claws and fangs and the deep rumble of a voice that would haunt the shadows forever.
