In this haunting near future novella, a misguided experiment hastens the collapse of a lesbian neuroscientist’s years-long marriage.  Dr. Sean Kell-Luddon has managed to secure private funding for a research project centered on the last wild pack of gray wolves.  Via surgical device implantation, Sean’s brain will be connected to one of the wolves’, which will feed Sean sensory input only during highly-controlled in-lab sessions.  As Sean begins to experience first-hand the chilled forest air, the bond between packmates, feelings of hunger and desperation, she develops an intimate connection with “her wolf.”  An obsession she mistakes for love will certainly end in heartbreak.
