Mykael's Song: It Teaches Us Nothing

"He'd just smelled a lion strutting the through the leopard's den. He was the leopard."

Mykael hasn't been home for long, but things have alright since then. He's almost finished with school, He's in a health-- in a relationship. 'normal' isn't a word used often by ungodly wolf-people, but he thinks this is about as good as it'll get. He hasn't felt alright in what feels like forever. But things never stay alright, no, not when you've seen the things Mykael's seen. At some point life just decides to say, "I see you're doin alright, just alright. so, lemme throw you some curve balls -- with rape in them -- and just a dash of existential dread." and the next thing you know, you're rescuing inebriated strangers from creepier, sexier strangers, your car's been totaled and your skull's fractured.
