Strangers in Paradise, Katchoo/Darcy, they come in every colour, "the wolves try to dry her eyes'
Some wolves are obvious- wild eyes and yellow teeth, stomach churning smell of liquor on the breath. My stepfather was that kind of a wolf.
Some wolves aren’t so obvious.
Darcy taught me things that made me feel special and strong. She gave me drugs and booze that made the pain go away. After what he’d done to me, being with her felt like being in control, it felt like being loved.
Things aren’t always what they seem.
Not all wolves are obvious. Some wear red lipstick and scar you with a lily.
Even after all these y ears I can still feel her teeth on my throat.
