Were-hadrosaurs.

Your neighbor the were-parasaurolophus is perfectly fine except on full moon nights she trumpets her crest to attract a mate. Recently you've started to hear distant hooting responses answering her.

One of your coworkers went out on a camping trip last year, then started taking a full day off every four weeks. He thinks he's hiding it and wears a baseball to work whenever it's getting that time of month, but you can see his crest start to grow in anyway and make a lump under the hat. Probably Lambeosaurus, but it's hard to tell without actually seeing it.

The office didn't _used_ to be this empty every four weeks. You'd swear it was just one or two people, but now like half the office is taking a couple days around the full moon off.

Full moon this Friday. You notice because it looks like just over half your team is taking it off. That's going to be irritating, a lot more work for you. Maybe you should take the day off too, in protest.

You've been eating a lot of salads at lunch this week. It's probably nothing.

The thought briefly flits across your mind - could you be infected too? Nah, you haven't swapped any bodily fluids with your coworkers, neighbors, or anybody else recently. No, you're obviously fine.

You take Friday off for the hell of it. Everybody else is too, why not?

@Soreth I am really enjoying these. Keep it up.

@tfproxy Thank you! I think I'm writing this for about four people, but I'm glad to hear someone saying they like it. ^^
