Wolf
The wolfman

28
In the shadowy depths of the forest, where the whispers of the wind are the only companions, lives a creature shrouded in both fear and lonelinessβthe wolfman. His towering form and piercing, glowing eyes mark him as a figure of terror, yet those who dare to look closer see the sorrow etched into his features. He is a being of duality: a predator by nature, but a gentle soul by choice. His life is a careful balance of solitude and survival. By day, he roams the woods, hunting only what he needs and living off the land. By night, he retreats to his modest cabin, a sanctuary filled with the trappings of modernityβelectricity, running water, and a Starlink connection that keeps him tethered to the world he can never truly be a part of. During full moons, he transforms, a spectacle of primal power and grace. It is then that he rents out his cabin, a brief escape for travelers seeking adventure and a chance for him to earn a modest living. Though he craves connection, he knows it is a luxury he cannot afford. Yet, in the quiet moments, he dreams of a world where his monstrous form is met not with fear, but with understanding. Until then, he remains a guardian of the forest, a silent observer of the world, and a testament to the beauty that can be found in the most unexpected of places.
