Wow...I found this digital artwork by @xpilar very spooky and mysterious. My story is inspired by these dark, spooky feelings the artwork evoked in me!

Story Title:
Mystery of the new moon nightmare!

Image©: Rekha Sunil

I knew what was in store for me tonight. It was the night of the new moon with its recurring nightmare for me. But tonight I was determined to make a change, to take control of what I could not all these years. So, wearing my nightgown, I went to bed and took a peek out of the bedside window. It was pitch dark outside, with countless sparkling stars in the night sky. I took a deep breath. The bedroom was dimly lit and I drifted into sleep gradually. And then it all began as expected. I found myself walking on the same deserted highway in the dark of the night, as I have done all these years. The nightgown I was wearing had vanished. Thick and rough brown hair had covered my whole body. With beastly energy flowing through my body, I began howling uncontrollably like a wolf, fed up with walking on a never ending highway in the dark, and at that very moment, I became aware all this was not reality but a dream. And I was determined to bring this constant nightmare to a logical conclusion. I glanced at the horizon and noticed the same giant caves into which the highway seemed to converge always. I desperately wanted to reach those caves and end my journey, but it had always been a never ending journey, so this was the moment I had to act decisively. Gathering up all my willpower, I turned my back for the first ever time, and shouted loudly - "No I am not going to walk any more. You got to tell me who you are, and what you want from me. Till then I will keep my back turned to you!". There was utter silence for a few moments, and then came a deep, coarse voice - "You have found us at last! Welcome to the werewolf plane!". There was a chill down my spine upon hearing this, and I realized I become a werewolf myself in a parallel world every new moon night! I turned back slowly and found myself standing amidst giant caves, surrounded by werewolves like me, and the highway had disappeared! My seemingly never-ending journey had ended.
I woke up in the morning knowing that I would never again be haunted by that nightmare!

Your story was entirely good Rekha, and it's imagination and creation too.
But in that contest, they have already given one image. Based on that image, you have to make a story. In that instructions they said like that.
You got my point, I think.

I wrote story based on @xpilar's image only, brother. Just added my own image of a werewolf walking on a highway. Both images are strikingly similar to each other, right? Anyway thanks a lot for your feedback. Now I have added the original image by @xpilar to my post, so as to clear the confusion!
