The forest was an appropriate place for the scrawny male to live. The darkness taunted him, shadows whispering to him, spreading their tantalizing fingers toward him and beckoning. Tempting him. The creature obliged, barely any kind of muscle rippling beneath his tattered coat as he slide gladly into the darkness, letting it consume him and subdue him.
