 |  | 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.
