And we take it out on others more often than we should.

Perfect in every sense. You grasp the storytelling style of the First Nations people bery well.

In every sense? :>

I hope we all have even better stories to bring forth when the time comes.

Umm, completely senseless? B{)} Anyway, by its own lights, yeah.

I'm glad you liked it!

Thanks...reading comments from other "long time prompt-ers" really means a lot to me.

I have to try harder to be less stingy giving out my own comments.

A very good parable, one that could easily cross the boundaries of nation, religion or station. It seems to tap into many old stories we've heard before without being a repetition of any of them. Original and bearing a keen edge of wisdom, its stories like this that remind me that I still have room to improve. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Thank you for the kind words!

I love this; great fairytale subversion; usually its the simple you gest siing who reaps the reward. Its like you flipped the old fairtale cliche and got a great dark mythnout of it. Also, it gives a great sense of depth to the world. I'd read more.

Thank you for giving it a read!

As far as more goes, I'm thinking about that. I don't know if it'll be about the mythological world, but more about the wolves who tell themselves these stories to make sense of their world.

I'm a fan of fantasy that uses the mythology within the story. If you do it well the world-building, mythology and plot of characters can be really interconnected. Even without makin it an epic fantasy where they try and save the world from its current state and you dont explicitly tell the audience much more of the mythology the world would be built interestingly and the aspects of the myth would still be there. Whether the world is built on the mythology or the mythology is a way to explain the wolrd the world is already interesting.
I'd read more.
