Desire....

I ran through the woods, panting, sweating....the brush was crashing behind me Oh God, he's getting closer! I thought, my mind racing. I couldn't let him catch me! My foot caught on a root, and down I went. I could hear him getting closer....I could taste the metallic blood welling up where I had cut my lip when I fell...the crashing was getting closer, as were the howls.....Oh God, Oh God, Oh God.....I looked behind me just in time to see the wolf leap at me....

I sat straight up in bed, drenched with sweat....
