St. Lucy’s Home for Girls Raised by Wolves II – Georgiann Carlson

the door is a dead giveaway

the claw marks

the double doorknobs

one for humans

a lower one

for wolves

it’s a well worn door

that’s been refinished

once or twice

but it usually looks like this

in the beginning

the adults at St, Lucy’s

tried to change the girls

who were taken against their will

they tried to make them more presentable

more like females who had been raised by humans

but it was an impossible task

the girls loved the wolves

and snuck them into the Home on a daily basis

but while the girls always smelled a bit like wet dogs

they were happy

and very well adjusted

they were also healthy

and physically fit

in the extreme

they never slept on their beds

choosing instead to sleep in a heap on the floor

they preferred their meals raw

and freshly caught

they refused to have their nails trimmed.

and absolutely no one

stayed at St. Lucy’s more than a week

before escaping back into the wild

you can sometimes see the girls

in cities and on farms

hunting

or looking for a mate

they’re hyper alert

fast

and deadly

but they are family oriented

and quite sweet

St Lucy’s Home for Girls Raised by Wolves

still stands

but today

it’s only residents are

wolves and the girls they are raising

so the name is finally fitting
