Short Stories 1: I Am a Singer of The Land

I never had a place to call home. I always wondering around the land. I follow the season and the loveliest season is the spring. The flower is everywhere. The animal is started to came out. Finding food. Finding adventure. Finding their mate for life.

When spring come, I see the nature change is colour and weather are so pleasant to venture around. While under my feet is the cold green grass, above my head is a vast blue sky.

Whenever I go, the animal come to me and let me pet them, rub their head, cuddling on the grass and taking a nap under the tree. Even some of them are too dangerous to others, but to me, they were so gentle ang loving.

One thing they love most is the song I sang to them. It was just a random word representing the magnificent land. A simple melody just a mare fun for myself but to them it was like the sound of the world.

I look like human but never consider as one. That is why it make the animal feel curious about, I who walk alone in this land, look different to them but yet not so different in the same time.

On a sunny day, warm and cozy. I finally reach the sea. There is so many birds. So many fish. So many things look different from the land animal. There I saw a man, sitting on a rock with a stick on his hand. When he pulls the stick, he pulls a fish from the water.

He was just fishing, getting his meal to fill his belly. I was so interested without conscious; my leg brings me close to the man. I was just a few arms away behind the man when he turns around and saw me. He was stun.

"What the hell happened to you man!? I've been looking for you!"

The man seems to know me. How? The fishing man came close to me and rap me with some of his cloth. He then looks at me up and down, touch my face and cares my long hair. I know the gesture; this is what happened when a human man does to his own mate, a woman. But what I am now is consider as man as he is. So, why so intimate?

He seems to talk to me but I don't know his word, he touches and hold me as if I was his mate. I didn't bother by it much but the longer I didn't resist him, it gets too hard for me to endure. I push him away with a gentle nudge. He did stop, he looks worried and he then bring me to his place that he call home, a small cottage not far away from the beach.

He let me rest on his bed that night and he slept on the floor. I didn't need to sleep as much as human do. I wake up when the full moon shine directly above the night sky. I look out the small window and saw the night creature surrounding the cottage with a deep bright stare.

As if they ask me to sing a song. Well, if that what they want, then, let me sing a song about my latest journey.

I sang and sang my song, I saw the animal, the insect and even the tree is dancing and swaying their body to my tune. I didn't realize the man behind my struggling to cover his ears tightly as if he is deep in pain. At the moment I sang my last verse, the man screams his last mortal breath. I look at him wondering what exactly going to happened to him.

I saw what I had to be seen, I listen to every scream, I witnessing the most unexpected.

The man turns into a wolf.

Once he becoming into such a beautiful majestic wolf, he came to me and lick my hand.

"My I join you in your journey?" He finally said something I understand. I nod.

I feel like my energy gave out, soon I slept where I sat, at the wolf bed who was once a man.

Next day early morning, I wake up look at the sunrise and just by the feet of the bed, I notice there is one new company, a wolf. Where it came from?

Without thinking any further, I stand up and start to walk out from the cottage that I didn't even remember entering. Maybe I was sleep walking again. Let's start our journey with a song, forget everything else and let us have fun together.
