End of the Trail
by Marilyn L. Lindemann
The northern wilderness is brutal with its extremes of temperature & precipitation. Some are resigned to snooze away the frigid months, waking hungry to an awaiting spring. Others fend for themselves through this season, remaining alert for those weakly carrying on. Not even the Aurora Borealis can enlighten the wolves path to their next food source because, for this hunt, it is the End of the Trail.
