i sold my soul to the open road

[Apollo Haddix]

we prey as wolves among the sheep
and slit the necks of soldiers while they sleep

"What?" Apollo started, before listening to his father elaborate. He had never known that Pilot had a brother, and any siblings for that matter. In fact, he didn’t really know much about his father. He was aware that Pilot had grown up in a pack called Storm, and that Storm had been around up until the day that Apollo was born. But other than that, everything else was a mystery. And thinking about it now, Apollo had never wondered why he didn’t have any aunts and uncles on Pilot’s side. He had just grown up knowing what he had, and never wondering.

"So... your family lives away from here? I thought you said you grew up in Storm, and that Storm was right over the mountain." He was confused. No one had ever explained to him about Pilot’s abandonment, his surrogate parents, or his discovery of ‘Souls. There was so much the young boy had yet to learn about his father.
