Canina

The protagonist of this story is overwhelmed: despite quitting her job at an art gallery, her time seems to slip between taking care of her two-year-old son and taking care of the house. Her husband, of course, is too busy traveling for work. All he can offer her is snoring and that condescending comfort she hates so much. Her exhaustion is such that many days she thinks she is losing her mind. Like now, she that she feels is transforming. In what? She doesn't want to think about it, but a tuft of shaggy hair grows on the back of her neck, and in her mouth her fangs seem to be sharpening. And then there is the uncontrolled, canine hunger that dominates her every night. Of course, her husband doesn't believe her. She sometimes can't believe it either. Her only hope is Wanda White, an ethnographer at the University of Sacramento, who has traveled the world documenting cases of wild, impossible transformations similar to hers. Perhaps she, with her help, can find out what is happening to him. Because she's real, she has to be... Right?
