Snow blankets the forest floor, muffling the world. A predator, a wolf, patrols near his rural home. A sudden crunch breaks the silence, not his own. He approaches the source, parting the trees to reveal a small deer boy gathering berries. The deer freezes, ears pinning back in fear as wide eyes lock onto the wolf.
