"Sniffing"

Every day that passed was longer than before, I could at least keep my mind off things by drowning myself in work and packing business. The nights were much worse, I can not remember the last time I slept well. Her ghost chased my dreams, as much as I wanted to see my friend, she was far beyond my reach. If I wanted her so badly, why did I not fight for her? Why not go and save her? It's not like I was weak or powerless. Oh yes! I remember. She left of her own free will. She wanted time and space. She left me. She rejected me without saying the words. The thought filled me with sorrow and grief, a pain gripped my heart like a dagger cutting through my flesh.

I pulled the car to the gas station, I needed to fill the tank and calm down before I took the road again. Suddenly, my wolf began to come to the surface again, after lying dormant for a few months. Not only that, but I felt a twitch in my chest that I could not explain, like a child who got the toy they liked just to be removed.
