No Place Like Home

Hyder waded through an ocean of dead grass. It whispered in his ears and tickled his ribs. The white titan took his steps lazily, in no great hurry to reach or return to anywhere in particular. He flicked an ear, and swished the ghostly remains of his former tail, imagining how the tuft at the end would tickle through the stalks. He missed the searing heat of home, where the years were marked only periods of wet and dry. Yet, he had not felt quite at home their either. In this land there were no lions, and yet, to his kind any land without others was theirs. How could he pass up such a lush place as this?

He had found himself most at home here in the west and south, yet the landscape was so varied he could no longer guess what he might find over the horizon, so who was he to say? So long as it was not another pack of wolves. He'd found himself quite fed up with the little gatherings, their inflated sense of power and purpose. His last encounter had proved less than fortuitous, so he lost himself in the vast no where in between.
