i watch them approach,
silent and slow.
he hasn't given them permission.
they are restless.
hungry.
starving.
for me.
i just want to run.
but they will catch me.
the prince of wolves licks his chops.
all the others are already drooling.
i can imagine their hot breaths and sharp teeth.
the sticky heat and the burning pain.
but the permission is not granted.
they whine like children.
he watches like a hawk.
i tremble with cold and fear.
