| From Shiver | |
| That night I lay in bed and stared at the window, my blinds pulled up so I could see the night sky | |
| One thousand brilliant stars punched holes in my consciousness, pricking me with longing | |
| I could stare at the stars for hours, their infinite depth pulling me into a part of myself that I ignored during the day | |
| Outside, deep in the woods, I heard a long, keening wail, and then another, as the wolves began to howl | |
| More voices pitched in, some low and mournful, others high and short, an eerie and beautiful chorus | |
| I knew my wolf's howl; his rich tone sang out above the others as if begging me to hear it | |
| My heart ached inside me, torn between wanting them to stop and wishing they would go on forever | |
| I imagined myself there among them in the golden wood, watching their heads tilt back to the endless stars | |
| I blinked a tear away, feeling foolish and miserable, but I didn't go to sleep until every wolf had fallen silent |
