Striking. Their eyes, glaring at me with an insatiable appetite. There were three of them as far as I could tell. Glorious, wild beasts of the woods. Fur as silky white as a fresh snow fall. They stood frozen, attention up ahead, looking for their next meal. Any movement on my part and I would be their next reward. I slowly shuffled my feet backwards, lifting each leg cautiously through the fall l...
I see the three looking at me. How did my life get to this point?
This morning, I had no problems. I woke and greeted the sun. A few stretches to start the day. My stomach annoyingly announced that it was empty so I started rummaging for whatever I could find.
After breakfast, I went for a walk. It felt so good using my muscles that I wandered most of the morning. That was when I felt eyes on ...
He stops
He becomes short of air
His hands start shaking as he thinks about what to do
HE SEES IT!
A long stick,
Very slowly,
He grabs it
And right as his trembling fingers grip the base of the branch
BARK!
The wolves charge.
Thinking quickly he dodges the first

He swings
BOOM!
The branch snaps on the wolves face
With two still coming
He has no choice...

Face the fires heat or the hungry mouths that blocked the path forward. There was no space to fear the outcome, all you could do is run now, listening to the scream of your own heart beat and the snarl...
It is said that these woods are where the great Golden Grin reside. It took me years to track this place down, I’m finally gonna be able to see my childhood heroes in person. I might even get to see Hush again. A smile widens across my face as I continue further into the daunting forest. I’ve come a long way from stealing just to keep my family and I fed. None of it would have been possible withou...
Some people, when faced with certain doom, would think; ‘If these are my last moments, let them be the best.’
Facing a pack of hungry wolves in the middle of nowhere, I did not relate to that. All I was thinking was— “OH MY FREAKING AGHHHHHHHHH—-“
Yeah. Pretty much a slightly different quote from Magnus Chase, who died.
I did NOT want to be like Magnus Chase.
Unfortunately, I would die at the han...
Their eyes connected, but hers were that of a stranger. Still, warmth radiated from the stare. As she pulled herself upright, two legs wobbling with uncertainty of the soil’s stability, she did not look away from her. What had she done?
Kaya and the elders made no sound, trembling beneath their paws at the sight before them. Awena had leapt into the iridecent pool of water in search of a miracle...
