The axe swings down, biting into the frozen wood with a sharp crack. But before the next strike, something grabs the handle with incredible force. A massive wolf stands there, its eyes locked onto the man, pulling him toward the deep forest. Is this an attack? The man lets go, but the wolf circles back, nudging him forward into the blinding white snow.
The Edge Of The Unknown
The wolf stops at the edge of a jagged cliff, its gaze fixed on something below. The man creeps toward the ledge and peers over into the abyss. There, huddled on a tiny shelf of ice, is a shivering wolf cub. It whines, its small paws slipping on the frozen rock. How did it even get down there? Without a second thought, the man secures a rope to a nearby tree and prepares for the descent.
A Tiny Life In Trembling Hands
He rappels down the sheer face, snow swirling around him like a shroud. Each movement is a gamble with gravity as the wind howls against the rock. He reaches the crevice where the cub hides, baring its tiny teeth in fear. I won’t hurt you, he whispers, gently scooping the creature into his heavy jacket. He zips it tight, feeling the small heart racing against his own chest.
The Long Road Back To Safety
The climb up is agonizing. Every muscle screams under the weight of the rescue. He reaches the top and collapses into the snow, exhausted. The mother wolf approaches, her nose twitching as she smells her baby. He unzips the jacket, and the cub spills out, yapping with joy. The mother licks her cub, then looks at the man with a gaze that says everything words never could. They vanish into the treeline together, leaving only footprints behind.
