love, not still

Will is a wolf, spending his waking days taking orders at a crummy diner job.
Will is also a lumbering, gnashing werewolf, spending half the nights of the month in lycanthropic, dumpster-rummaging, animalistic stupor.
This leaves Will to wander, lucky to have found a job, certainly in no shape for a relationship.
Too bad for him, because Werewolf-Will's just struck up an affair with a fox that's too unimpressed with regular-Will, not to mention too well-to-do for his own good. Yeah, "his," because apparently Werewolf-Will likes guys.
That's alright. It's 1971, free love reputedly reigns, and the summer's rolling right in. But just who is this fox? Will Will be cursed to wander? What do the hippies have to say about it? What is that catchy song, and why can't he seem to find it? And what does a packet of mustard turned to the left on the plate mean, again?
