What is your claim
In the howling of the night why does the wolf scream. While in your bed only a Payne of glass separates you from his terror and he knows your heartbeat. He knows time before you were born and you stake claim to what he had before you. People outnumber his kind but the darkness of the night and his stealth is his bag of tricks. He's unable to question what he is because he knows nothing else. What's your excuse.
