The Story
Synopsis
Rick supports his lifelong friend, Jack, during his first full moon as a werewolf. They are equipped with breathing exercises and a cage made of silver so that Jack can transform without hurting his friend. As the stress of the upcoming transformation arises and Jack lets his anger out on Rick, Rick lets out his own frustration on Jack about feeling rejected after they slept together two months prior. As their argument reaches its peak, Jack painfully transforms and Rick realizes he forgot to lock the cage.
...Horror has historically been the most groundbreaking and often representative genre, though more representation is always needed. In a time where discrimination no longer hides in the shadows but rears its ugly head in plain sight, I feel that it is more important than ever to show that while the queer community is beautiful and unique, queer relationships have much of the same problems and pitfalls of other relationships. Heartbreak is a universal language.
In this story, werewolfism is a metaphor for anxiety, as well as the consequences for bottling up your feelings until it’s too much to bear. Supernatural metaphors are often effective in reaching audiences that would otherwise be uncomfortable discussing mental health. I hope for this story to bring more acceptance for queer relationships and more compassion to those struggling with their inner demons. If I’m able to scare an audience member or two, that’s always a plus. -Anjelica Hymel
