“Too Much of a Good Thing”
How do you know when to quit? How do you learn?

We are choosing a prompt from a listing.

My choice is:  She was howling.

Animal shriek.  Wolf loose
in city. Pedestrians look
around for origin of sound.
Winter sun blasts sky in
amber haze. Group of people
head down street. No wolf.
A keen-eyed person spots
a blanket in front of closed
building. One brave soul lifts
a corner. A woman screams
underneath. Homeless, surrounded
by shopping bags. Skin like
red meat. Tears flow. She points
to her stomach, lifting layers
of moth-eaten sweaters. Gasps.
They see it. Large knife wound;
she was stabbed. Where is the wolf?
