Hunter

I’m the last of my kind. A hunter that has become the hunted. Exhausted, my joints ache from a life on the run.

I can hear their shouts, they’re close now. The trail of blood I’ve left behind betrays my desperate escape; a painful testament to the bullet lodged in my stomach.

Tears form as a single question plagues my mind. When I transition to the beyond, will I remain as the wolf that defined me, or find solace in the return to my long-lost humanity?
