the howl

That sound

from my nightmares, that sound

 A hungry howl

The woods were dark only a ray of moonlight

A growl a snap of bone, teeth sinking into flesh filled my ears

I trembled behind a tree holding myself

Holding the hope inside me that they wouldn’t notice

My ears are filled with my own terror

It’s near, I feel it

Catch a flash of teeth and fur

ice running through my veins froze my steps

My senses gone I run

My world fell away

The ground rushing towards me

My breath was no more

My nightmare is now
