I jutted my chin out. “This isn’t the right spot.” The werewolf bared her teeth. “It’s exactly the right spot, dowser.” Belligerently, I took two wide steps to my left.

The green-haired werewolf handed me a broken stick of bright-pink chalk, fishing a crumpled wad of paper out of her backpack and halfheartedly smoothing it out on her blue-Lycra-clad thigh. The fake leather backpack was dyed bright purple and adorned with puffy leather spikes, mimicking some sort of dinosaur. It clashed spectacularly with the lithe […]
