"So this was the price, then, for biting a person; for not understanding the rules of a society you're not really a part of; for trusting your alpha to protect you; for protecting your territory: the death penalty. No trial, no jury, only judges and the sadness of ten quality days with the one you love, trust and would give your life for." —Eric D. Goodman, "Out for a Walk," a short story published in The Baltimore ReviewQuote of the day is from an MWA HoCo author's work in progress.
