Fitting In Again

Ma told me I could go anywhere I wanted, except for the forest Wolfwood. I could leave the house whenever, except at night. I could play with my friends, unless the full moon was that night.

I never understood those rules but I always followed them. I didn't know how important they were until I broke them.

It's been twelve years since I broke the rules. I haven't gone home in twelve years. I have stayed in Wolfwood for twelve years. I didn't know how much could change in twelve years. I am going home, after twelve years.
