Two buds have a hang-out night, but something comes up a little faster then they'd have liked.

Somehow... funny. A nice take to the prompt, but I just was able to see what would happen. Transformation... again. No no, I'm cool with it, I have read these prompt responses of yours earlier, I know it's a theme you use really often. In this story, what felt good, is the dialog. The two men talking, their dialog felt rather down-to-earth, they are just two normal fellows. It is rather hilarious when they wander to speak about the more fantastic elements in this setting of yours, using rather normal modern dialect, speaking about magi and werewolves. I sense a hint of comedy.
Anyway, nice little piece, I laughed, I was intrigued, I enjoyed reading this. Good work.

Do you use a spell checker? Don't! (I say this a lot.) You've got a few situations where you've got the wrong word instead of the one you wanted. 'Herd' for 'Heard', 'Eek' for 'Eke'. Couple of places where you needed an apostrophe for the possessive - Tom's, not Toms - and drop it for the plural - Not Gryphon's, Gryphons.
Setting's quite curious, the interjection of fantasy elements on a contemporary society in the particular way you've done it is a nifty concept. Work a little on your prose, it could use brushing up, and I would've liked to see more emotional turmoil and attachment - things came across as rather flat, wheras there's a lot of potential for conflicting feelings as these secrets come up and all.

I really liked the way you described Tom changing. The "ligaments growing and reshaping", and "a series of crunches echoed through him". Very good, and it made me twinge a bit. The only thing I thought was kind of distracting, was the characters using "dude" and "man" so much. But that's just me. Otherwise, good job.
