The Twilightzone -open-

[Deleted]

 

Perhaps he did die that day but didn’t go to heaven or hell and was stuck in purgatory. This didn’t feel like living. Doran had lost his will and goals but for some reason, he didn’t want to die just yet. Perhaps he was just a coward. Lately he feared that the wolf was starting to take control of him. It scared him. He missed Reina but he couldn't just show up at their old appartement. He'd changed too much, this was no longer the man she loved. Besides, she probably thought he was dead. Stuck between two worlds, confused about himself and society, the fallen soldier had found distraction in the only thing he still could do: cooking.

The owner of this inn literally picked him up from the street. Vasco Reyes was a strange man. Doran got the feeling his boss had a hidden agenda but he kept him off the street and the freshly turned werewolf was loyal to those who helped him. Ever since he started working, he’d kept to himself. His working days were always the same: arriving early, working hard till his break without chatting or stopping. Then he ate in the kitchen and went back to work until he got green light to go. Of today’s working day he’d reached the break time. While he usually ate in the kitchen alone, he decided to eat in the public space today. It was rather hot in the kitchens. Still not a very social bee, he sat somewhere alone as he ate the meal he cooked himself.
