Gemiola [76]

Answer:

a. Craves meat, howls, and becomes increasingly animal-like.

Explanation:

Rudyard Kipling's short story "The Mark of the Beast" tells the story of how a newly arrived landowner from England to India had desecrated the Hindu god Hanuman. His act of branding the image of the god with a cigarette butt with "<em>Mark of the B--beasht</em>" had led to the "Silver Man" to put a curse on him.

After Fleete grind the cigar into the forehead of the temple statue, the naked and leprous man "Silver Man" touched him with his head to Fleete's chest. This started the transformation of Fleete from a civilized Englishman into a beast- his smelling senses grew more refined and he began to crave and eat raw meat. And in a short number of days, he fully leaves behind any form of a human and began howling like a wolf.
