"Miss you already...."

I love it when people text me "I miss you already." within two or three hours after being apart. Some may see it as emotional neediness or attention whoring, but I think it's sweet that they genuinely miss me, and have the courage to be honest about it.

Three people in my life have done this. 

And I just thought I'd say that I love it. 

-The Wolf Boy

2 A.M.

A glowing white wolf pads up to me, lighting up golden shards of grass as it approaches. It pauses then sits in front of me and looks up into me.

Its eyes are black but alive. They search but don't ask. They're trying to understand my decisions but not prodding.

I reach down and pet its head gently. It's soft and warm. It wants to comfort me. I look back to it and say hello. It answers with an upward twitch of its tail.
