GLENN

The thought of death had to come with the most bitter feeling ever and at the moment I knew that without a doubt.

Shrouded by dark tall trees like walls molded on each side of where I was, it turned out the wood would appear fit for whatever was in my mind at the moment.

As It turned out just one thought went through my mind and it was a perfect ending to this unfaithful life I was in.

I felt broken and betrayed, my mind portraying things that made your head hurt while trying to figure out their purpose—

Still dark thoughts filled my mind unwilling to depart, it looked like the universe had other plans.

In as much as it turned out not even the rain could wash the dark thoughts away from my heart and mind, at the moment I tried my very best to numb the feeling I was having, as my heart seeked peace amidst its turmoil.

Still It burned.

All by myself, my mind turned to the fact that I was in need of a place for the night.

Looking around one more time, I realized this would be the last place I would want to spend the night as it seemed too desolated.

Perhaps I was a coward, one that was too scared to face life, still not every one would take what life was throwing out to me at the moment. The thought of it sounded unfair —The fact that I was betrayed by people dearest to me.

Sniffing again and trying all I could not to cry, I decided the best for me at the moment was to embrace my fate.

The unimpressed expression it gave me was clear and with no way to substantially respond to it, I felt the best would be my thoughts being reflected.

A shiver went through me as I realized I still hadn't moved in that short amount of time. I forced a sigh to hide my unsettlement, my eyes wandering blindly around yet again.

Just then I could see what looked like a searchlight in the northern part of the wood, though in the distance, the mere sight of light in what looked to be through this dark tunnel gave me a glitter of hope.

The last thing I wanted now was hope, as at that moment it seemed so unreal yet at same time it was irresistible.

My heart thumped heavily deep inside of me as I pulled myself to my feet again, moving toward the edge of the woods where I had found light—this time not literally.

I approached cautiously —as I made my way, I knew that the best would be to remain silent as best I could so I wouldn't give myself away so easily.

It felt like something was going to happen, like everything was going to change, there was no way to explore why I felt this way as all my concentration was settled on reaching that end.

It left me with the feeling of unease,

anticipation, and a sliver of panic that flooded through me as though it would drown my soul.

I knew something about each next step would change everything .

“What are you doing Glenn” I breathed the word's out as I cautioned myself, weighing the thoughts yet again to be certain it waa the best decision to make.

The moment cut through the thick haze of my mind, not clearing from the air as at the moment I stopped walking and watched another second. It was still there regardless, the light at the distance was becoming brighter after each step.

A twig broke from close by and at that moment I looked in the direction of the sound, it was merely a few seconds but looking back again at the direction I had been treading upon it was gone.

I looked on in shock. My legs were hurting beneath me from running frantically in the dark and my long walk.

Deep in my mind, standing there still perplexed, u wondered why the tiny light

that had been illuminating the path I was in had suddenly disappeared, wondering if everything right at the start had merely been a trick.

I felt hopeless at the disappearance of the searchlights that had aided my route, with it the dark outline of what could had been my temporary residence had shrunk as well

Still it seemed like there was no way to stop, at least not at the moment. The best I could do was to continue in that path even if I was filled with so much uncertainty.

Taking a deep breath for courage I walked not so blindly as I depended solely on my wolf instincts.

I Walked blindly in the dark, following whatever was in my mind and leaving the rest to fate, as that was the only thing that seemed real at the moment.

So far I was narrowly avoiding tripping over my own feet, the ground felt muddy now as the breeze on my face was significant to the fact that I was no longer in the woods but out there in the open.

The moon that would have been my light was absent as the sky was dark in the promise of more rain.

Just as the rain was about to start again, u hurried with my steps —

My shoes clack against the wooden steps of the porch of wherever I was and water drips down my neck as I try not once, but twice, to shove the door and push myself in.

On the third try, the die opened… fighting back the dark thoughts in my mind at how wrong this was, fighting the uncertainty deep in my soul I burst through the door, maniacally looking around.

It seemed like the best decision I had made in that short while as soon as it starts to rain again, this time heavily.

As I laid on the ground, all I did was shut out the thought that filled my heart. I would worry about facing the owner tomorrow, at the moment all I wanted was sleep.

Soon as I was just about to find sleep a click from the door sounded, it was sudden —enough that I jerked up looking around.
