Chapter 3
Chapter 3
The window breaks and the wolf sticks its head inside, ignoring the broken glass, and tries to bite the older woman nearby. Fortunately, he only bites the hem of her sweater, and the fabric tears as he tries to pull her outside. The woman falls down while screaming.I move slightly to the side, holding an iron pipe and a piece of glass in my hand. Then, I notice a man on the opposite side of the wolf, reaching under his jacket and towards his armpit.
Don't tell me…
I step a bit closer to the wolf, and its eyes turn towards me. It shifts its head slightly, totally ignoring the broken glass. Its eyes are almost as if glowing. As I get its attention, the man pulls out a pistol, and for a second, our gazes meet. I give him a little nod and step a bit closer to the wolf.ree but ignores it and enters deeper into the forest with the steel pipe still lodged in its eye.
The world slowly comes back into focus as the wolf disappears, and I can hear the people from inside of the bus.
Pain hits me in waves.
My wounds.
My burning muscles.
My head feels like it's about to explode.
Out of nowhere, I don't have any more strength in my legs, and I almost fall to my knees, only my will keeping me standing.
My heartbeat slows down, and the world…the world feels ordinary again, once more
