You feel a rush of adrenaline as it fills your body with the hot exciting sensations, and your mind suddenly starts to clear. You concentrate on the wolf’s footing, where it is stepping, how it is moving. The wolf’s shoulder blades tense up and relax as if it were telling you something. As if it were warning you. The wolf takes a single step back and then lunges forward at your right side. Your body flinches out of the way without you even having to think about it. The wolf assumes its attack position, its weight mainly on its front legs with the hind legs as a sort of spring. You see a way to use this against it and you charge full force at the wolf. At first it looks like you will charge straight at its front taking it head on but …show more content…
Your eyes dart around through the surrounding trees and branches. Suddenly you see what was making that noise. Two skinny pups, just bigger than your feet, appear through the thick tree lining. The mother growls at them to tell them to back off and hide, but they don’t listen and they step forward with curiosity. You kneel down and hold out your hands in a fist but the mother doesn’t like this and prepares to attack. You back off and bow your head to tell the wolf you are defeated. You think to yourself “I can’t hurt this wolf.

You feel your toes start to tingle as you let them go numb. Next your legs fall to the ground and you can no longer feel anything below your hips except that strange tingling sensation. The tingling spreads to your gut and up your chest until it feels as though you are floating on a fluffy cloud. Your arms fall limp at your sides, and you don’t even care.

If there is, then this is it. As you slump against the tree, the smell of your puke starts to fade away, along with all of the other sounds and feels of the forest. You no longer notice the swarm of flies buzzing around your head, no longer do you feel your sweat soaked clothes clinging to your skin, or the dried mud caked across your hands, your feet, and your face. The scratches on your arms and legs have stopped stinging. The headache that has been lurking around all day starts to disappear. You feel nothing. Absolutely nothing. Your mind is in a daze. You can’t think straight, your mind won’t let you. “Is this it?” you say out loud even though no one is listening. “Can I die now? Will you let me see
