The forest floor crunched with each resentful step I took, my camera a heavy, unwelcome companion. This mandatory camping trip was a joke, and every shifting shadow seemed to hide one of those selfish monster creatures. I reached a clearing where sunlight filtered through the canopy, and for a moment, the tension in my shoulders eased. Kneeling, I focused on a detailed close-up of a beetle’s carapace, losing myself in its intricate patterns. Then a raw, panicked scream shattered the silence. My heart leapt into my throat. I followed the sound to the riverbank. There, fighting the churning current, a tiny, bestial form—a young wolf-object—clung desperately to a wet, slippery rock, her wide eyes locked on mine in sheer terror.
