Short Story Of A Wolf

Superior Essays
1. B.1

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

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. Who would take care of these poor pups if she were dead?” You stand up and start to walk away, hoping that maybe the mother wolf will takes this as a sign of retreat, but the small pups decide to follow you and the mother wolf is getting mad. You don’t know what to do. You can’t touch the pups because the mother will get defensive, you can’t walk away because the pups will follow you. All you can do is wait for the mother wolf to make her move. Eventually, the mother creeps closer to gather her pups and take them away. You see her pick up the pups by their back fur and walk away. Once again you are left hungry, tired and all alone in the dark woods. You stand up and …show more content…
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. You haven’t felt this relaxed in a long time. Everything is just numb. You have no emotion, or it seems like you don’t. Is there an emotion where you don’t feel anything? 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

    For example, if a person got near the Red Wolves’ pups, they would think the person was trying to harm them so they would growl and slowly come toward the person. They do this, not because they are vicious animals, but because they want to protect their young. The most important reason to save the Red Wolf is that without it, our food chain would be unbalanced. For example, without the Red Wolf the rodent population could increase to an unreasonable amount.

    Megan Hoffman The truth and importance of Gray Wolves Even under protective laws, Gray Wolves are still being killed! Although people tend to look down on wolves in general, it does not mean it's for good reason or acceptable. There is more to any creature then meets the eye, and for Wolves it is especially so. Gray Wolves are of a greater benefit then what we give them credit for and are often mistreated or otherwise viewed as something unwanted, unneeded, and ill-received. The Gray Wolf species has long been damned and slaughtered for minuscule infractions and illusions of identity despite how they are unlike their fabled counterparts, are viewed as "Spiritual brothers" by some Native Americans (Swinburne 10), and are beneficial to their…

    Blood gushed forth and covered the ground. The rest of the pack of wolves had, by this point, turned around from Georg to Ulrich because of the noise. Ulrich threw Georg the almost loaded gun as the wolves advanced toward Ulrich. Ulrich was trying to fight the wolves the best he could, but was very ineffective against them because of their numbers and his pain.

    Let me go back to when it all began I jolted awake as a blood curdling howl pierced the bitter cold air. What started out as a seemingly relaxed hiking trip turned into 3 days of pure, adreneline driven, survival, when a pack of ravenous, blood-thirsty gray wolves started hunting me. I thought I had lost them when I jumped 3 and a half meters across an almost bottomless ravine going a mile in either direction. I don't know how they caught up to me, but now was not the time to think about that.…

    Disbelieve and fear shook my mind as I lie on my back, sitting on top of concrete sandwiched in between the hot metal hood of a car, as the weight pressed down against me it didn’t hurt, my body was too numb to feel anything.

I could see sirens and people gathering around me watching in disbelieve, I kept fading in and out of conscience I felt like I was close to death.…

    Wolves are viewed as evil predators and are usually used to reference negative human behaviors. Such as rudely “wolfing” down food or “wolf whistling”, which references the way a man whistles at a woman in a derogatory manner. This perception of wolves may have widely encouraged the creation of the werewolf, a murdering, and torturing composite creature. That embodies the impulsive and unreasoning side of an animal and the violent and dangerous side of humans.…
