Part 2 the Wolf Story Contest

They surrounded him with ruthless intentions, Until he quickly decided to mention, “I am more like you wolves than you think” “I am your human, missing link” “Let me prove to all of you” “That I am capable of being a wolf too” Their blood thirsty eyes suddenly subsided, He was given 24 hours to show them he should be permanently invited, For he had nothing to lose and everything to gain, He had just survived a grizzly bear’s night time game, The man explained that he had just retired, The life he had lived had simply expired, He was now more alive than he had ever been before, Little did he know what these wolves had in store, The journey was to begin at sundown, When all was quiet and no one was around, They would come for him at half past eight, And challenge this man and test his weight, They said their last words then scuttled away, Leaving this man to his thoughts all day, He knew he was different; his head for the first time was clear, He felt empowered and had not one fear, With it all planned out in his mind, He was confident that they would accept him after tonight as their kind, He did not question what would happen if he failed their test, With pride in his heart, he was confident he would be the best, To keep himself busy until they came back, He walked to a nearby stream, pulled out a knife from his knapsack Caught some season trout, He showed those fish what he was all about He spent the rest of his day relaxing in the sun Until darkness arrived and the fun had begun…
