This is a fiction book that I am working on. Here we go at my attempt at a synopsis.

           The heroin , Alyx VanRylee is thrust into a new world,  after being put in a stasis chamber for a trip to mars, unfortunately for her reality changed while she was separated from time and space. the reality she finds herself in has  a corrupt government bent on cleansing the planet, scientists or intelligentsia who are what we would call werewolves, the majority of the population, however, are minotaur like, and eventually a crazy writer.  Can she figure out what happened? Is it possible to go home? What lies have been told?


OK, so here is a website that has the first ten parts which have been written sporadically over the last year. I'm always editing so don't be surprised to find they change. Because this site is dedicated to werewolves, the werewolf-like creatures appear in chapter 2 and then continue through out the book, Enjoy.

Here is an excerpt that involves the werewolf-like beings from Ch 2.

                                                                      *******         Twenty-Seven Years Later        *******

    In the abandoned crater a stasis chamber light switched from its blinking red to green. The chamber had just reached critical power and began its hydraulic system to open the cover and wake the occupant. The noise from the chamber caught the attention of a wolf-like being that had been scavenging the surrounding mountains for a place to hide. It startled him to hear machinery so far way from habitation. Fear crawled down his back, could the company really have found him so quickly. He cocked his ears listening close to the sound.
    Upon examination he found it did not sound like the companies form of technology. Curiosity peaked he slowly drew closer to the location of the sound. He came upon the edge of a blackened pit with chunks of material scattered in huge piles within. A peculiar smell washed over him as it passed in the slight breeze. His mind went blank, he had never smelled something so sweat before. His mouth began to drool and he began following his nose down into the crater. His thoughts were blank save for the drive to find, to hold, to keep forever the source of the scent. 
    When the lid was fully off, there laying inside was a young woman about twenty. Her skin was that of death, she had not seen light for a long time. Her black hair, in contrast to her skin, was ratted and extremely long. Her nails were curling in on themselves. Her sleeping gown was extremely filthy with such a prolonged usage.  The stasis machine had been damaged during the explosion all those years ago, it had only slowed aging but not stopped the process. The woman had aged about four years since she was interred within.
    She took in a deep breath that rattled her body, it was like being born again. The first painful breath of life. When she opened her eyes, she saw the bright sun shining down on her. As she became aware of her surroundings she began to panic, but then she remembered that her dad and her were going to Mars and that they must have arrived. It felt like moments ago that she had complained to her father about getting in the chamber, calling it a metal coffin.
    When she felt rested enough from the wake up process she sat up. The surrounding sight shocked her. All around was an eroded crater where the research facility had been. Nothing was left, she definitely  was not on Mars. She crouched back down into the coffin and huddled up in a ball, her mind could not handle what was happening. “Destroyed, how is it destroyed?â€� She tried to  comprehend what had happened. Even though she knew it was futile she sat up straight and screamed, “Dad!,â€� into the desolate crater. Scrambling out of the coffin. She continued to cry out for her father, with no answer ever to return. As she clawed in desperation over the debris she reached a high point and looked across a the deserted, dead crater. Falling to her knees she began to weep. Her heart was breaking, so much pain.  She felt she should be dead, everything was gone, blown apart. She knew her father was dead, he would have come to find her if he was still alive. She should have refused to get in stasis until after her father came back from his experiment. She should have died along side him and the rest of the facility.
    While she sat in emotional distress upon a tower of ruble, the wolf-like creature had found what he had been smelling. A white skinned tall creature crouched crying at the top of a ruble heap. He couldn’t resist. He had never had a stronger urge to kill and eat before. His mouth began to water and he let out a low moan. The woman froze. A chill raced down her spine. She stood up and turned slowly around and saw a creature that stood like a man standing there in a white lab coat, but it was covered in a thick brown fur. Its features spoke of a wolf. The woman let out a loud ear piercing scream. It shocked the wolf creature. It caused his ear drums to feel like they were bursting.
    She quickly jumped down the ruble and began to run for the far side of the crater. Her mind racing, “My God, I’m in a horror movie.â€�  The creature recovered from the scream and took off after her in a now angry rush. The woman ran as hard as she could her legs and lungs began to protest. The ruble was cutting deep into the skin of her feet, but she kept pushing herself harder and harder, and pulled a good distance ahead of the wolf. As she approached the edge of the crater she saw an out crop she could jump from to make it out. She went for it, if she failed the creature would surly get her.
    She made it to the top and did a miraculous jump and succeeded. She raced to the trees hoping she could lose it among the wild-life. When the creature made it to the forest edge he had lost sight of his prey, but he could smell, and after finding the scent went taking off after it.  The woman zig-zagged around leaving her sent in many places, hoping that she could pull-off what happened in movies. Out of breath she went and hid behind a tree and tried to calm her breath.
    As the wolf came closer she became as silent as the dead. As the creature came to one side she back to the other. The wolf was very close, it could almost taste it, but at the same time he was confused for the smell was overpowering from so many directions that he couldn’t tell which way to go. He decided to head further away from the crater. As he left into the undergrowth. The woman began to back around the far side of the tree.
    When she turned around right in front of her was another creature. Startled and scared to death she was about to scream when the other creature covered her mouth with it’s hove-like hand. Applying just enough pressure to keep her in place without harming her. When she began to struggle against him he whispered in his gruff voice, “Shh, I wont hurt you.â€� Not believing him she broke free, using what was left of her energy she raced away from the second creature. She couldn’t comprehend what was going on. It must be a dream she thought.  Her struggle with the other creature re-caught the attention of the wolf. As she ran off, the other creature muttered to himself and began perusing her.
    As she ran through the forests she kept muttering to herself. “I’m not crazy. I just saw a werewolf, and a minotaur. That’s all. Hehe. I’m not insane." She began to slow, still muttering about the overwhelming simulations after not receiving any stimulation for so many years. When she finally slowed to a crawl she was inside a clearing. She could here something coming up behind her and she felt she was finished, for she was to exhausted to run anymore. She turned to face the rustling bushes waiting for a monster to appear. The second creature  became visible, and her heart stopped. In his hand was a object that resembled a gun. “Freeze,â€� he yelled with force that echoed around the clearing. He approached aiming the gun in her direction. Tears began to fall. She knew she was dead. A shot rang out. She fell to the ground, splattered in blood.
    As she lay on the ground she realized she was not dead, not even injured. Crawling up on her knees she looked behind her. There on the ground was the wolf thing. A bullet hole in the chest. Right in the heart. She stared at it in shock, as blood oozed out of its chest and gurgled through its mouth staining the white lab coat it wore. The other creature, now kneeling beside her, asked if she was all right, but she didn’t respond. Her vision failed and her mind drifted into dark unconsciousness.
