Tim was a young boy. He spent a good deal of his free time playing war games with his friend Geoffrey. One night, when Tim was preparing to leave Geoffrey's home, they heard an unusual and hairraising howling from the woods behind Geoffrey's house. Geoffrey was amused by Tim's obvious alarm, and suggested that a werewolf lived in the woods behind his house. Tim was not amused, but he couldn't help but think that Geoffrey was telling the truth.
