INTO THE ENDLESS

There's a wolf prowling the edges of Mathias. There's nothing special about it, other than the fact it looks on the young side. Well, and the fact that it keeps snuffling its way to the edge of the fog, then shying back, then repeating the experiment. And the way it will shake its head every once in a while, almost like a dizzy human being.

Eventually it gives up, turning its attention toward the town, moving quietly through the snow with ears pricked forward. It's slower now, pausing more often, shaking itself off from time to time as though it's trying to shed water. It's almost to the town square when it finally stops entirely.

The wolf lowers its head and whines, low and sad. It lifts its head to snuffle the air and whines again, then sneezes.

Blink-and-you'll-miss-it abruptly, there's a teenage girl climbing to her feet where the wolf used to be. Fully clothed, for the record, and looking like she already paid a visit to Mathias's clothing store in oversized flannel and boots clearly too large for her feet.

She stuffs them with extra socks.


THE END APPROACHES

I'm tired and lazy, so this is what you get:

A teenage girl, sniffing the notes on the bulletin board.

Will I add more to this before someone tags? IT'S POSSIBLE, WHO KNOWS.
