the dark and very bad wolf...
After the size of his form, his teeth were the first thing to be noticed. The woods were very dark in the fading light and his coat dark as pitch. His mouth was lauded open and his teeth shone like moon slivers almost floating it the air. That is until he spoke.
“I may gnash my terrible teeth and bite metal bars as though they are bits of brittle bone. But you should make no small notice of my glittering eyes and wit that compliment those teeth.”

They stood for some time not moving until Scarlet’s stomach broke the still with a low garble, to which the wolf rotated one of his ears in her direction. She sighed as sitting opened her bag and pulled out the lone apple and wedge of salted pork…
