Nightshade

Watching out the windows of the small house, wondering what was left for me to see. Looking about the small village, that held forty maybe fifty people. The houses all looked the same. Small each with two bedrooms, one small bathroom, kitchen and a living room. A wolfs hide hanging hanging next to every door in the village. When i was younger, my dad and older brother brought home the first wolfs hide. I had asked him why? but the only answer i got was "It had to be done." Those hides were supposed to keep our small village safe from the wolves. But why i didn't see them as a threat? Everyone else did.
