Realm of the Grizzly Bear

By Alex Morgan

The forest seemed different to Jarrod, strange and unworldly, as he walked deeper into the brush than he had on previous excursions. Was it because he was venturing farther into unfamiliar territory and feared losing his way back to his truck? The rain kept a steady downpour, creating a thick, hot atmosphere among the trees as if he was in Mother Nature’s own steam room.

In the morning, Jarrod had woken up in his pickup with no sign of Caleb. He worried it had been a vivid, wet dream, but a few subtle clues told him it had not.

His parents had fretted when he reached their house after his assignation with Caleb, fearing the bite could become infected. It had not, but it had never healed completely. The doctor could not explain why, nor could he explain Jarrod’s sudden growth spurt. Since Christmas, he had grown nearly eight inches, making him well over six feet tall. His muscle mass
