If you're looking for an intriguing story that a little spooky and will keep you enthralled and on the edge of your seat the entire time, this is it. This isn't a typical lottery and no one will win a huge sum of money, and you may be surprised by what the winner of the lottery gets.

If you enjoy your time here on Gay Authors and would like to get a different take on the site and those who run it, then this story is for you. It's a humorous look at what makes this site so great and those behind the scenes. I highly recommend that you read this story.

Have you ever had a dog that you raised from a pup and enjoy many wonderful years with it? If you have, then this story will help you remember what it was like and the many good times and bad as it matured. The story is short, and I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

Damn, it looks more like a robot than a real spider, but at least it's not lethal. One of the few things in Australia that isn't.

I'm glad you enjoyed the chapter, and you are correct. Devin's visit to see Mac is sort of a tease, since the shaman said they won't be able to stay together - at least for now. That may change in the future, after Mac learns how to transition into other animals, but that will also introduce more danger.

In hotels and motels, management and the housekeeping staff all have passkeys that allow them to enter any of the guest rooms, with the possible exception of the penthouse.

Yes, @drsawzall Mac is impatient, and he is young, but age doesn't necessarily have anything to do with it. I've know a lot of older people who are impatient, including politicians. You must also take into consideration that Mac thought this process was going to take most of his summer vacation, so if he can speed things up and end up with more time to do other things, he's all for it. As far as Gramps and Pops are concerned, it was their understanding that this is the first time the shaman is doing the training, so they just want to make certain that things are going well. They also want to be able to help out as much as possible, since Mac is like their grandson as well. You will soon see where their presence is important on many levels, so please be patient. 😎

Thanks, Terry. It isn't easy changing from a biped to a quadruped, and Mac discovered that, no matter how much Devin had worked with his prior to this moment. As far as Pops teaching him about marking his territory, it's not something we would normally do as humans, at least not most of us, so it took him a while to realize Pops didn't merely have to urinate.

Interesting point and you will learn the answer to your point in future chapters as well.

Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Ah, interesting question, grasshopper, and that may come up in future chapters. As far as wolves using scents to communicate, that ability can also be seen in dogs. Unfortunately or fortunately, it is not an ability that humans possess.

By limited the number of skinwalkers, as opposed to the length of life, you can insure that you only get people that will not abuse the ability.

Thank you, and yes, thanks to Devin's help Mac is making the transition easier than might have otherwise happened.

You won this week's lottery and got to speak first. I'm glad you enjoyed this chapter, and yes, Mac still found it somewhat difficult to move on four legs, even though Devin had attempted to give him a head start at doing it. Yes, adjust size is partially mental for a shapeshifter, and you will see that again when Mac learns how to transition into another animal.

Chapter 27 – Making Progress A few days after I’d been able to completely transition into a wolf for the first time, the shaman and I were eating breakfast when I heard a vehicle pull up outside. “Are you expecting someone?” I asked. “Yes, I thought you might appreciate another person working with you and helping you get used to being a wolf.” “Who is it, Jack Hanna or the Wolfman?” I quipped. The shaman chuckled before he responded. “Patience, grasshopper, and yo

That's why I write, for others to enjoy. I'm glad that you're one who likes my sometimes unusual tales.

It's been a year and a half since you first posted this, and with the current climate and laws passed in Texas, do you still feel the same way?

Were those same two people on the cover? If so it was probably doctored.

Depending on what meat you're talking about.

And so was the silent film star Buster Keaton. He was a genius at deadpan humor.

Quite a few years ago my doctor prescribed phenobarbital for me, but I never filled the prescription. I merely threw it away and I'm glad I did.

Thank you Danilo, and I did my best describing what it looked and sounded like as the ceremonty took place. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Jimmy Buffett is no longer with us, although I imagine there are a lot of us that got high in Margaritaville, at least in our minds, while listening to his music. He was 76 and died of Merkel skin cancer. R.I.P. my old friend.

August was an interesting month for me. I turned 75, celebrated my 20 anniversary here at GA, and I finished writing my entry for the Leap of Faith Anthology. When that story goes live, it will be the 100th story I've posted here. Of course, that doesn't look like much when you compare it to the 188 stories Comicality has posted on his site, but hey, he's been with GA 26 days longer than me. I'll miss Jimmy Buffett as well, but I'll still be able to enjoy his music. RIP old friend.
