Wolf Man

The old man appears to be well past his use by date. He’s as wrinkled as my nut sack. Often he’ll say things out loud other people don’t even dare think. His children are grown and scattered, and despite his being there for them when they were growing up, they just step around him now, as you would a hole or a puddle. From a distance, he helplessly watches his young grandchildren become hypnotized by the glow of digital screens designed to ensnare and control them. It’s a myth that a wolf will gnaw off its own leg to escape a trap. But you knew that already, right?
