Montana is facing a crisis. A rare germ has reached the Big Sky State through imported food, manifesting into a lethal virus. It's spread from town to town and city to city. With the citizens dying and falling ill in vast numbers, medicine's running low, and so the state is evacuated as a last resort. For several months, Montana sits in eerie silence.
But for the wild wolves, life is better than ever. There are now no humans to disrupt them, and their territory has expanded greatly. Pups are more frequent, as is prey. Even in winter, life without people treats the wolves well, and they're flourishing. The bio codeword is Wolfbane.
Domestic dogs left behind in the chaos haven't had nearly as much success. Not all have escaped from their houses, once comfortable havens, now prisons confining them to death. Others left outside on leashes have managed to slip from their collars. Becoming strays, some have formed street packs, and some have escaped suburbia to join the wolves. A smaller portion live on their own.
For a long time, things have remained relatively peaceful. Apart from the typical rise and fall of hardships, every species has been living life to the fullest; a glimpse of a fully alive world before the time of humans.
However, walking on the barren town roads is a pitbull known as Xavier. "Wolves have had their time," he'll say. "They roamed freely even before the humans left." But in his opinion, dogs haven't yet had their hour. Though Xavier has never been dark-hearted, he views wolves as selfish wastes of space. Unfortunately for the wolves, there are many that agree with him. They stand behind their new leader with confidence, ready to support him whenever necessary. Before the end of his lifetime, Xavier is determined to prove to the wolves who the real dominant race is, and give his kind their time of recognition.
Highlight the plot for the bio codeword!
