  Infiltration

  Infiltration by Algis Budrys - If werewolves exist, they don't necessarily conform to all the superstitions people have. They may even know fear.... 
  Sunset. They're coming for me, tonight, he knew as he woke. 
  Sunset. Not really—if he were to get dressed now, and go out on the street, the red globe would still be hanging over the cliffs of New Jersey. But the shadow of the building next door had fallen over his apartment windows, and he sleepily pushed a cigarette between his numb lips and swung his feet over the side of the bed, fumbling with a match as he walked over to the small radio on the windowsill and turned it on. There was a double-header between the Giants and Cincinnati—the first game was probably in its last inning. 
  Sunset—odd, how the conditioning worked. Was it conditioning? Or were the old wives' tales not so absurd, after all? But he could go out in the sunlight—had done it many times. His tan proved it. He touched silver and cold iron countless times each day, crossed running water—and he'd gone to church every Sunday, until he was twelve. No, there was a core of truth under the fantastically complex shell of nonsense, but the old limitations were not part of it. He shrugged. Neither were most of the powers. 
  Still, he liked to sleep in the daytime. His schedule seemed to gain an hour at night, lose one in the morning, until, almost unnoticeably, it had slipped around the clock. 
  He went into the bathroom while the worn tubes in the radio warmed up slowly, and washed his face, brushed his teeth, shaved. He combed his hair, then paused thoughtfully. Wouldn't do any harm. No full moon in here, either, he thought, looking up at the circular fluorescent tube in the ceiling, but he noticed no impediment as he coalesced, dropped to all fours, and ran his pelt against the curry-combs he had screwed to the bathroom door.

There, the dogs mercilessly chase Earl. He finds no comfort when his nose is stung by a bee, and when he shivers alone in the rain. Before long, Earl has no fight left in him. He longs for his old park, but will the other squirrels give him a second chance? Listen now and find out!Story #2: “Pen Pals.” Dylan the squirrel wanted to meet a nice doe, but he was shy.

When she and her granddaughter befriend a gnome, her eyes become opened to a world of fairytale creatures and animals. Together, they embark on adventures and uncover the need to balance the hustle of modern life by opening their hearts and minds to the magic of nature. 
  Based on true events and inspired by traditional folklore tales, you will fall in love with its characters; including a family of gnomes, otters, a beautiful cardinal named Dean, an elf, a wood nymph, and an evil witch. After you read this book, you’ll look at your next walk in the woods a little differently. Was the breeze that caressed your face a spirit that drifted by you? Was the bird singing to you or following you through the woods?

  This story is written by Orion Moondreamer Mata, who is of Yaqui descent, and grew up in the woods of Michigan.
