Packed Up

My camp-fire was small but effective as I huddled next to it, waiting for the dawn to start moving again.


As I watched the embers and occasionally added another twig, I heard movement, and looked up.


It was three wolves, at least the ones I could see. I watched them for a few moments.


They didn't move, and so I went back to watching the fire.


I didn't intend to sleep, but I must have fallen asleep, given I woke up.


But I woke up alive, unbitten.


But the howls on the wind informed me this wasn't assured going forward.
