"Run Home" is a story pieced together from the broken remains of Solita's, a lone wolf, past and Nadie's, a sly trickery-filled fox, tightly-woven web of her life.  Two different species formed together by the urge to feel something: relief.   Although relief can be good, it could also be dangerous and fatal if used improperly.  

Solita is a wolf who grew up in a small pack, the pack of Canowicakte.  Being shy and anxious, if she ever got into a bad situation whether it be a verbal fight or a life-threatening experience, she always tries to find a way out.  She often seeks comfort in the sky, stars being her source of inspiration.  When a fight breaks out among the pack, Solita takes action and runs away, as far away as she can away from the pack. The idea she had wasn't too smart, but she can't change it... she is lost. Starving and exhausted, Solita wanders around the snowy plains and spots a colorful splotch of red against the painted white canvas. The actions she takes next could change  her life forever.

Nadie is a fox who lost her father as a kit. Growing up with three brothers was difficult, but not impossible. All it did was make her the spitfire she is today. But what happens when Nadie's mother becomes too overwhelmed takes her eldest daughter by surprise. Nadie wakes up to three brothers but... no mother. Nadie is then forced with a difficult decision: take her youngest brothers with her on a trip to find food, or leave to save herself?All Rights Reserved
