We’re all prey in a digital world.
My heart is my wilderness, a natural and evolving place where rationality is consumed, the scraps then blown away by a howling arctic wind reminding me that peace will never come easy in a world designed to inflame my passions. When I close my eyes I can hear my beating heart advancing on me slowly, like a relentless army. From the distance comes the bay of a hungry wolf. Startled, I blink my eyes open to see him staring right at me.
