“I sleep with my eyes open. I can feel the slightest breeze that whistles through my hair. My ears can detect every nuance of the surroundings, and my muscles are tensed to prepare for confronting any potential threat. At occasional nights, you may notice a flash of a shadow in the corner of your eyes, but only find yourself staring into the darkness. You are no victim of hallucination, but you will never know that a creature has just darted pass. When the twilight approaches, I join the pack. And together, we howl, to the full moon.”
