Wolf boy
One dark rainy night
A black haired boy with a large golden dog
Were running through the dark and foggy woods
They were running from an old life, the fear, and the pain
Betrayed by those they had loved
They had to get away from here
Bushes brushing against them, branches scraping them
They ran until they could not run
The boy and dog sat still in the cold murky night
Breathing heavily, breathing silently
The boy heard angry voices in the night
He knew they had to leave
But he could not continue, he was too weak
The dog’s brown eyes met his red eyes
He knew what he had to do
He succumbed to the beast inside
By the time the people reached them, the boy was gone
Left in his place was a black furred red-eyed wolf
The people began to shriek
Both animals snarled savagely
Then they ran until they left
Both the people and the woods behind
They stood side by side
Looking at the place they thought was home
Then they both ran off and disappeared into the misty night
