Run with the Pack: Chapter 4
Bahr continued his relentless pace through the forest, onward to new ground, away from his family, his pack. He noticed the beginnings of the thaw as fresh shoots appeared through the snow. He picked at some promising looking plants, but forest vegetation provides nothing to stay the vast hunger of a ravenous wolf. He must find meat. Nights had passed since his last meal and many days had passed since, in his generosity, he had allowed the shiha, the she-wolf, to keep the dead bird, the bird that was rightfully his. Fool, fool, fool that he was.

The Burden of Love
7:00 a.m. I rose drearily from the loveseat parked in front of our heavy beige drapes that still hung with hooks-which no one from my generation likely knew how to use because curtains should just slide onto rods. I stretched my arms upward both grateful to have a job to rush to and lamenting the fact that I’m made to work from such a state of exhaustion. Granny is still asleep so I rouse her with a gentle shake. She’s neatly nestled under my favorite pink fleece blanket, the one that traveled with me from Brooklyn to Vassar then back to Brooklyn, and then from Brooklyn to Boston College Law School and back again. The gray paisley print bandana that she ties over her hair and knots on her forehead, is slightly raised like a crown and half on her head, halfway resting on her pillow. She wants me to leave her alone but she knows the routine-wake up, morning bird bath, change her diaper, fresh clothing, breakfast, and medication before I leave for work.
