This moving poem chronicles the emotional arc of grief following the loss of a loved one's presence. It begins with the sudden, cold sting of departure, moving into the heavy anticipation of a voice that no longer rings through the phone. As the narrator navigates the isolation of moving through a bustling, indifferent world, the tone shifts from despair to quiet resilience. Ultimately, the comforting memory of her gentle words becomes a guiding light, inspiring the strength to stand tall, hold onto her kindness, and keep believing despite the sorrow.
Chapter I: The Sudden Silence
The room fell quiet in a single night,
The light grew dim inside the hall.
I reached out for a steady hand,
And found but shadows on the wall.
Her departure left a open door
Through which the cold wind came to stay,
And took the warmth I knew before
A hundred miles away.

BlackKat07: I loved the characters, and the settings were described really well, making it easy to picture in my mind. One question I have - when the creature attacked the city, why did the wolves attack it in their wolf forms, instead of in their human forms with the amazing weapons they had. And where did...

Shriya: When I started, i thought the Alpha was a psycho, a control freak and could not understand why Kiera didn't get terrified of him. I wish the book was a bit longer to show her life in the pack but then I thought many of us are surrounded by strangers and we can be non inclusive without realising the ...

Kelly Teachout: It was a good story. I just wish that there would have been more description of the characters as well as the settings. It could’ve also been a little bit longer little more backstory as well as bit more dialogue but overall is good story good plot.
