>Knox BarOn the streetback in the hospitalLoungeOn the street<
As I walk to my car, I sense something dart past me. I wheeled about to see what it was, but only a burst of air meets my gaze. And then I see it, standing within the shadows of the building. A giant grey wolf with red eyes.
My eyes aren´t fooling me. This isn´t a hallucination.
The wolf turns around and shoots me a backward glance, before disappearing towards the back of the hospital building.
I think it´s asking me to follow it.
Without giving it a further thought, I break into a run to follow the wolf.
When I reach the back of the building, there´s nothing there. I walk toward the abandoned loading dock, my eyes searching. “Hello?” I halt in my tracks as the wolf emerges from the shadows, stepping into the light of a street lamp.
I observe the white crescent moon mark on his forehead, stark against the grey of its fur. It bounds slowly towards me. I am frozen in place. I can´t move. I can´t breathe. I tremble in fear as the wolf stops right in front of me. Its face is so close to mine that I can smell the stench of its foul breath that comes out in mists against the cold of the night. I close my eyes, my heart pounding wildly against my chest.
Suddenly, I feel this unforgiving pain on my left shoulder and I scream in pain. The wolf has bitten me!
