When Ariel's husband Mathieu comes home reeking of cheap perfume for the third night in a row, something inside her breaks. In the quiet glow of her bathroom mirror, she decides she's done being the faithful wife. That night, under a full moon, she drives toward the Burel Forest — a place whispered about by local women, where a "werewolf" is said to satisfy those who dare to go looking.
What she finds there is stranger: a man in a dog costume named Francis, courteous, unsettling, armed with a Gucci fanny pack and a written consent contract. What begins as absurd soon turns deeply erotic and disarmingly human, until a mechanical failure — and the arrival of a pig-faced mechanic named Boris — push Ariel further into a night that blurs myth, lust, and mutation.
Numpy is a raw, provocative short story about consent, metamorphosis, and the thin line between danger and pleasure — for adult readers only.
