The Wolf
Two hundred word short story
It was a clear cool morning and even though Gwen heard the birds chirping outside, she had a strange feeling. She got up and out of her bed and walked over to the window. When Gwen peeked through the sheer curtain, she saw a spirit-like figure of a wolf. She watched it as it walked and looked around her back yard. Am I really seeing this, she thought. Gwen went over to her nightstand and got her cellphone. She thought that maybe she could snap a picture of it. But, when she got back to the window, it was gone.
Gwen quickly put on some clothes and grabbed her sweater. She hurried to her front door and peeked out the window. Carefully she opened the door and looked outside. Gwen caught another glimpse of it before it disappeared again. She ran out into her front yard and saw it one more time as it walked down the street. Just before it left again, Gwen remembered that the wolf is her spirit animal. It must have known that I have been struggling a lot lately, Gwen thought. Her body suddenly felt lighter and she knew what she had to do.
