This episode of horror story contains gore, torture, and the death of children. Listen to

discretion, it's advised.

Ishtar was a goddess of love and war in ancient Mesopotamia. She was powerful and had many faces.

As a goddess of love, she was responsible for all of life,

but as a goddess of war, she also dealt with a lot of death. She was celestial and believed to be

planet Venus. It was complex and confusing, beautiful, terrifying. She was known to have many lovers,

but she was cruel to a lot of them. She had her eye on one man, Gilgamesh.

He was a hero and a king, someone worthy of her attention.

But unlike other men, he was not interested.

He had heard about the way in which Ishtar treated her lovers.

There was this one shepherd. He was devoted to Ishtar. He loved her. He brought her gift

after gift trying to win her over. At first she welcomed his advances. She loved the attention.

But after a while, she grew bored of the shepherd.

Ishtar then decided it would be more fun to turn the young man into a wolf, the very same

creature that his dogs are supposed to protect against.

And then she saw as his dogs ripped them apart.

This topic has been seen as pure fiction in the past,

but what I'm about to tell you, through real cases,

will make you think twice about the existence of werewolves.

My name is Edmund, and here's a horror story.
