We Don't Choose Our Time

"We don't get to choose our time. Death is what gives life meaning. To know your days are numbered, your time is short."
- The Ancient One

Ben had been happy once upon a time.
But that was a long time ago. That was before his world was torn from his claws, leaving behind a broken, angry shell.
Now a mercenary, he only seeks to endure the rest of his days trying to forget his misery.
But that all changes when a client charges him with looking after a young girl.

- I wrote this a few years ago, thought I'd give it a whirl online. It's pretty short, not quite novel worthy, but enough to get the job done, I think.
And yes, this is basically The Last of Us, but with wolves (mostly different, but the plot is very similar). If I ever write a sequel, I can assure you it will be nothing like the actual sequel.
