Down in the wolf’s den
The pups sleep deep
Down in the wolf’s den
The earthworms crawl
Deep in the woods
A wolf hunts its prey
Out in the forest
The rabbit flees
Down in the wolf’s den
The pups are awake
Deep in the wolf’s den
Hunger interrupts their sleep
Deep in the woods
A wolf hunts it’s quarry
Silent in the trees
A gun waits alone.
Outside the wolf’s den
A gunshot pierces the silence
Down in the wolf’s den
The pups are scared
Deep in the woods
Blood trickles in the grass
Alone in the forest
A wolf lays silent
At the edge of evening the wolf finds her den
Before the dusk, the pups get their mother.
And at the cabin, the hunter eats rabbit.
You've built the suspense with great craft through the repetition and then the final line comes as such a surprise. I enjoyed reading this so much!
