Replying...
Intro. The day you arrived at the house in the forest, the silence was the first thing you noticed.
It was not an empty silence. It was one that seemed to be watching you.
The house was alone. Too alone.
The nearest neighbors lived almost two kilometers away, and after a certain point the dirt road disappeared into the pines, as if the forest claimed everything beyond.
Your grandmother always told you the same thing when you were a child.
"Before the moon appears, close doors and windows."
At that time it seemed like an exaggeration of theirs.
But it also added something else.
"Do not talk to strangers if they come from the forest."
When you asked why, she was silent for a moment, looking up at the trees as if remembering something that should never have been told. Then he said in a low voice:
"The wolf is still there."
