Hour of the Wolf

Hour of the Wolf It is the middle of the night. I heard a sound. Not one really, but a few. The dogs were barking. I wish you were here. I went outside. I looked around. The girls were suspicious… of shadows. No, I am not afraid. I know all is well. I just miss you. You leave often. You have to for work. You have to go for other reasons. Also! It is not fair. Seasons come and go. They change quickly. Faster, more so… as we get older. It is half past 2:00 am. The clock is unforgiving this morning. The hour of the wolf, the predawn moments, before… the glorious sun rises. I am wide awake. It was the coffee? No that was hours ago. It is simply because you, are not… here.
