Canis Lupus

Canis Lupus The sound of a pin drop in the kitchen downstairs wakens me. I get a whiff of a strange scent not one I can identify. My eyes open and I can see in the dark. Unusual, as I always stub my toe on something. The nightlight is on and I make my way to the bathroom. I glance in the mirror and see a strange face look back at me. Yellow eyes, dark black pupils look out from narrow slits. Long pointy snout with silky whiskers from each side. Jet black lips curve back, reveal yellowish curved fangs. Pink tongue with dripping saliva hangs out the left side of the mouth. A full moon shines through the bathroom window. I feel the call of the wild in my bones. As I bound down the stairs nothing can stop me. At last I am free to live the life I was called to.
