Chapter 29

|
| Living alone in the woods was the most peaceful time I had ever
| known. My closest companions became the animals of the forest. There
| was a bond between us, almost an unspoken understanding of each others
| needs. I spent days simply watching them stalking each other, prey
| running from predator, only to turn predator themselves when they found
| their own prey. I would practice stalking them as they stalked me,
| becomming one with the great circle of life.
|
| I lived in the open and washed myself in the blessed rain. There
| were no prying eyes, or shame at my human heritage. I often walked
| naked through the woods, letting the sun dry and tan my skin. For the
| first time in my life I could almost say I was happy, except there
| still seemed to be something missing... Some tugging at my soul that I
| could not quite explain or even put into words.
