HOME
Jack woke to the sound of hungry creatures cowering amongst the
dense undergrowth. He knew he would have to move quickly, the stench of his
human form would soon arouse curiosity. A circle of bright light and the
distant shouts of anger pulled at something in his memory. Home was to the
left...it was time to run.
Twigs cracked between his toes, droplets
of evening dew splashed his calves and behind him came the slow pant of hunger,
or was it greed? Jack clenched his fists, stretched strong thighs and pounded
the earth beneath him. Home was close, but was it close enough?
