I Am Titanium

Corbin had become more reclusive after his father’s death.  He did a great job of telling himself that tomorrow he would become more social.  He stalked the pack's boundaries or the lands near the pack turf.  Corbin also had picked up a tendency to not look at any bird for overly long.  Seeing a bird stretch its wings brought the unwanted imagery in his mind of Dad’s wings.  It only took the beat of a heart to remember Dad’s bloody wings no longer attached to the body.

Hearing his sister’s call Corbin loped to the family gathering, slowing down as he neared.  Corbin smiled as he approached the group.  He did love his family and most of them were here.  Rocky, his sheep, seemed to brighten up as they got closer, the sheep picked up its speed to catch up and get close to the wolves.  

“Hi!” The young man offered a friendly greeting.  Aside from who was here, Corbin noted that neither Alex nor Mom was present.  “Nice to see you Saga,” he greeted her upon hearing her mark her return.  “Haydee, everything alright?”
