Bingo: No, not tonight Raúl. tffnfgs stggrry dssn grrfm AHEM. As I was saying… Tonight’s story doesn’t come from a book. It’s a story my mum told me when she was a pup. I think you’re old enough to hear it now. For you see, long ago, long before your memory or mine, all of us were wolves.
Bingo: Back then, the world was nothing but badlands. There were no buildings, no cars, and no free wifi. The food wasn’t even fresh. It came from the ground. And all the meat was wild. Those were dark times. Really dark! The only thing that was ever in the sky was the full moon.

You know the rest. But despite all our power, despite our most advanced technologies
The badlands are still there just beyond the fringe. And the wolves must be, too.

Cyn left. No, she is not coming back. She left as suddenly as she arrived eight years ago. Do not be sad. That is how wolves are, coming and going without saying goodbye. You will probably not meet another one. If you do, you won’t know it. But at least you knew one, once. Cyn… Read more »
