Night Howl

(crickets chirping)

They happily returned

to their peach pie.

The three little pigs

lived happily ever after

eating pea soup, sipping tea,

and baking pies in

their brick house.

The end.

All right kiddo, time for bed.

Mom, there's no such thing

as scary wolves, right?

Well, wolves do exist, but

they're like big puppies,

and there's not any around here.

But is there such

thing as werewolves?

Evan told me he saw

one in his backyard.

You know Evan

just tells stories.

Werewolves are just things

that are in stories, hun,

I promise they're not real.

Okay.

Just don't worry about it.

[Kaci] Okay.

[Mom] Goodnight, love you.

I love you too.

I just wanna keep the light on.

Okay, well I'll just

be in the other room.

Get some rest.

(growling)

No, it's not

real, it's not real.

It's not real, it's not real.

(gasps)

It's not real, it's not

real, it's not real.

(growling)

(screaming)

(light dramatic music)

(alarm ringing)

(sighs)

(light music)

(gargling)

(spitting)

Sh*t.

(phone ringing)

Hey, Ema.

[Ema On Phone] Kaci,

hey, how are you?

Yeah, great.

We still on for the

afternoon shoot?

[Ema On Phone] Of course.

I was actually gonna ask

if we could do it a

little bit earlier.

How soon?

[Ema On Phone] How about I

come pick you up in an hour

and we'll grab

some coffee before.

Yeah, yeah, I can do that.

Just text me when you get here.

[Ema On Phone] All

right, I'll see you soon.

All right, later.

(light music)

Yeah, so I am so

sorry about changing

the time of the appointment.

I just kinda figured

the earlier the better?

Oh no, you're fine.

I actually have another

appointment around 3:00,

so this kinda works out better.

You're not shooting

other girls now are you?

Oh no, it's a guy.

Just one guy.

Is everything okay?

Yeah, it's just

a normal shadow.

Oh, okay.

[Kaci] So we'll just do two

shots here if you don't mind.

All right, would you

like anything specific?

[Kaci] Just

whatever feels right.

All right.

[Kaci] Good.

Okay.

[Kaci] Oh, there we go.

- Smolder, smolder.

- Yeah.

What's my motivation here?

[Kaci] Something

a little fierce.

Well, this is where I get off.

Okay, do you have

any spare time?

I'm not really sure, why?

I don't know, I

just kinda thought

we could go upstairs and

maybe get some coffee.

Oh, yeah, that would be great.

I just gotta get these photos

edited before that

appointment, so.

Okay, so I guess

I'll see you later?

Yeah, yeah, I'll message you.

Okay.

(dramatic music)

Hey, Iris.

[Iris] Kaci, come here a sec.

What's up?

Was that the girl you

was tellin' me about?

Hey are you

spying on me, Iris?

Of course not.

I happened to see you

talking in the car

on the camera and I got curious.

That's still spying.

Spying, eavesdropping,

call it whatever you want.

It's my property I

can do what I want.

Well if you must

know, yes, that was her.

[Iris] And you

didn't invite her in?

I'm just her photographer.

Okay, I used to do a little

modeling when I was young.

- Oh yeah?

- Yeah and my photographer

always worked out this deal

with me where I would...

Iris, that's probably a memory

best kept up in the old noggin.

I mean hung.

That's great.

With all that

said, how much would

you charge me for a photo shoot?

Um, yeah, are we done here?

I'm just messin'

with you, kid.

Are you doin' all right?

Yeah, I just, I

got some work to do.

I have to get these photos

edited by the end of this week.

If you don't mind, maybe I

can come by sometime later

and we can grab some

coffee or something.

Sounds good.

Oh, by the way, a few

peoples went missing.

They don't know what's

going on, so be careful.

Will do, thanks.

Oh, he is such a

handsome little man.

(elevator beeping)

[Elevator] Ground

floor, going up.

(sighs)

Second floor.

(bolt clicking)

(dogs barking)

(coughing)

Hello?

(heavy breathing)

(dramatic music)

(snarling)

No, please stop, please stop.

(growling)

(knocking)

Come in.

Yes, thank you.

Dude, did you

really just come here

on your lunch break

to take a piss?

Yup.

So what you workin' on?

[Kaci] Just some

photos that I took today.

Those look pretty good, man.

Thanks.

So who's the girl?

Oh she's just

a friend of mine.

Are you gonna tell

me her name, or?

Oh, her name's Ema.

Dibs.

What?

[Devin] I called dibs.

You can't call

dibs on her dude,

I called dibs on her

the first day I met her.

Well was anyone there

whenever you called dibs?

No.

Then it doesn't count.

Look, all right, no.

She's just a girl, we're

not gonna call dibs...

Okay, okay, okay.

I'll take mine back then.

[Kaci] All right, good.

Ah, sh*t.

[Devin] What, what's going on?

[Kaci] I got a doctors

appointment to go to.

Well, I'll be here then.

[Kaci] All right.

See you later man.

Later, bro.

Sh*t.

Wow, so you can go ahead

and take that home with ya.

Have a nice appointment, man.

(bike wheels clicking)

Kaci, you're here early.

Yeah, traffic wasn't

as bad as I thought.

Kaci, you're here.

That's great, how have you been?

I've been great.

I did a photo shoot today, so.

[Dr. Ezay] That's perfect.

So how do you like

working here so far?

Oh, it's not as

bad as you'd think.

(laughing)

And I've really enjoyed

having her work here too.

I bet.

Do you mind?

[Dr. Ezay] Sure, of course.

Follow me.

Why don't you have a seat?

So, she's cute.

Yeah, she's more

than cute, my friend.

So tell me about that

photo shoot today.

Oh yeah, it was fine.

I mean there's a few more

photos I would've liked

to have gotten, but other

than that, it was okay.

[Dr. Ezay] I assume she drove?

Yeah.

Did you invite her

into your apartment?

No.

You're actually the second

person today to ask me that.

Hm, is there something

you're afraid of happening

if you were to invite

somebody inside, or?

I'm not really sure.

[Dr. Ezay] Kaci,

you know the answer.

Just tell me.

I think that I'm afraid

of like once her and I are

in this like private, enclosed

space that with her in it

it's almost like I become

claustrophobic or something.

Why don't you lay back

on the couch for me.

Are you still having

the nightmares?

Yeah, I had one

last night, actually.

Have they changed any?

This one was a lot different.

This one was kind of a memory

from the night my mom died.

Is the werewolf still

appearing in them?

Yeah.

Okay.

Has the appearance of

the wolf changed any?

A little bit.

His fur's still jet black and

his eyes are like wide open

but you can't really see 'em,

and his mouth is open wide

and doesn't really

ever change that much.

So sort of like

resting b*tch face?

Right, or resting wolf

face or whatever, I guess.

I have a question.

Shoot.

What do you think wolves

are symbolizing in dreams?

That's a really

good question, Kaci.

Some scholars agree

that werewolves

or wolves in particular

symbolize a fear of evil

or controlling or

confronting your fear.

However, this may or may

not make a difference,
