The Wolf of Death

by Alex Stewart

 

This wolf was no ordinary wolf.  
It had come as a symbol.  
A symbol of the end of the world.  
A dark cold stone fire burned in its eyes.  
He was full of pain.  
Thunder and lightning, hurricanes.  
The silver moon made its fur glow, 
like an emerald.   
He had a streak of black down his gray
back and it seemed to ripple. 
I knew what I had to do.  
I had to kill it.  
I ran up on him, and slashed to the right, 
he was too fast.  
He clawed at me, but I deflect him.
We battle for what seemed like forever.  
He finally he got a lucky shot.  
I was down and hurt.
He curled his claws, 
he was getting ready for the kill--
nice and slow.  He was about to get me, 
I had a trick up my sleeve--a knife  
I got it out, and before he knew what was 
happening, I got him in the stomach.  
He slowly disintegrated.
It was over.
I had won.
Then I collapsed.
