I am only a handful of crappy humans interactions away from going absolutely feral and running away to some ancient forest and becoming a new local myth.

I want to dress and act in a way that makes people question wether or not I’m something poorly hiding as a human, or just some weird goth.

Yes fast food worker, I came in with a pocket of shiny things I found and a cape! Am I just a weirdo, or am I hiding 100 eyes under this thing?

Please understand that being a Beast does not mean I am cruel.

These clawed hands are gentle and kind.

These sharp teeth carry gifts from the woods.

These old wings protect what is dear.

Catch me about to run away and only leave behind my journal talking about my now inhuman form and mysterious whereabouts.

I don't want to be human anymore! Why can't the old forest gods turn me into a beast?! One with twisted antlers, sharp teeth, and looming wings? No longer held back by human standards and now only looked at as a creature far more knowing of what lurks out of unseen eyes!
