Nearly fifty years old since it's last remodeling, this dilapidated wooden bridge is the original link between the east and west sides of the city, and has been replaced in recent years by a newer bridge about two miles downriver. Although cars are no longer allowed to cross here, it is a favorite hangout for the population’s youth. Gangs and other shady characters tend to frequent the area at night, and the lack of street lamps across the expanse of the structure adds to the danger during the dark hours.
You Don't Know Me.

Arsenic bowed her head towards each of the wolves. She was hoping for an introduction from them. Because she was no mind reader and there names were still unknown to the nervous femme. She was never the social type so she realized how much of an idiot she looked like right now.
“I’m Arsenic.” Despite the alpha’s introduction she stupidly repeated her name as if they hadn’t already heard. She felt her ears grow hot with embarrassment and her banner wagged from side to side in anticipation. Her black fur shone in the light of the moon and her dark brown eyes appeared black in the shadows. There was a rippling of gray at the top of her ears and as she studied each of the wolves she became even more ashamed by the scars on her chest. Three winding and trailing slash marks covered her right side and very little fur had grown around them. They were the mark of the family and the eternally cursed symbol of all she had left behind.
Her muzzle was also extremely marked as well as her black pillars. Out of habit she looked down at her feet and avoided the gaze of the pack before her. She had once been taught to be proud of her scars, because most were victories instead of defeats. But in front of this seemingly normal pack she felt as though those fights had been to prove something that no longer mattered. Those fights hadn’t pushed her any closer to happiness yet she had some how felt fulfilled afterwards.
Looking back up to the wolves she smiled awaiting some noise or response from them.
