    Caged. Caged and broken.

    Sometimes free. Free to play, free to hunt.

    Mostly caged.

    Mother sick. Father gone, hunting. Hunting for Mother. Father returns, feeds Mother his kill, goes hunting again. Father is angry, sends away.

    Outside, free. Woods are cool, even in summer. Woods are dark, even in day. Play. Hunt. Be free.

    Caught! A growl and a snarl. Fangs. Green skin, not like Father. Bad smell, like blood. Like Father after a hunt.

    Chained. Caged. More smells, many hunts. Others chained, caged. Like beasts. Slaughtered, like beasts. Not slaughtered. New pack! Sometimes allowed to hunt. Green-skins are surprised. New pack watches and hunts together. Green-skins teach words. Teach new ways to hunt. Green-skins speak of the Great Hunter. Clawed and marked. The Great Hunter’s mark. Green-skins give to the Great Hunter.

    Green-skins are hungry, slaughter pack for food. No more hunting. Green-skins are hunted. Many men, metal-shells. Burning fire! Bright light! Metal-claws and far-claws. Blood, death. No more green-skins. The end of a hunt. Fear, anger. Growl a warning, growl the words green-skins taught. Howl for lost pack. Metal-shells do not understand. Growl more words. Metal-shells still do not understand.

    Free! Unchained!

    Metal-shells are gone, leaving to hunt elsewhere. Wandering. Cold, tired. Hunting with two legs is hard. Hunting with no pack is hard. Hunting Father and Mother. New smells. Smoke, fire. Wood. Men. Stalking past gates. Big fire! Hiding, waiting.

    Hungry, cold, tired.

    Hunting Father and Mother.

    Howls are answered.

    New pack?
