SHORT STORY

Photo of a wolf

We were three beasts. The squirrel said:
"Love shall come with the first falling star."
Death came and left me without her.

We were two beasts. The rat said:
"Death will come and you shall be without me."
But love took her from me.

Then I howled...I howl still, "Love or Death!"
"Death or Love, I demand of you!"
I am still waiting..
