Finding your Howl..

In Jonathon Flaun's first story he describes a red wolf named Mumom who was raised in captivity. After a life in captivity he is finally released into the wild. However because he was in captivity for so long he forgot how to howl. Flaun's story focuses on Mumon's journey to find his howl. Mumom thinks that he can just find it one day and run to it, but sadly he is mistaken. On his journey he comes across a deer and a raven and they help him realize that he can't just go out looking for his howl, he has to sacrifice everything in order to find it again. As Flaun describes the process may feel like death, it may unsettle us and it terrify us. However that is just the price we must pay to find our own howl.
