Atomic Playground

The rutted, scarlet path leading from the city is almost hidden so it takes time and patience to find it, if you plan on visiting. Once you find it though you’re right on track, literally. When following it just before you reach the playground a few tarnished, twisted signs still stand giving the diagram of a park and below that another sign holds chipped, unreadable words. Once you meet the chain link fence, which is still in excellent condition, you have reached the heart of the pack. The entrance is the one and only because the fence encloses the whole terra, making a border so the alphas don’t have to. Most of the time you might find a guard placed there. The wooden playground equipment provides shelter, unless of course you prefer to sleep in thick undergrowth. Just beyond lays a meadow, a good place for pups to frolic or maybe a nice spot to talk. Small mammals provide food, like rabbits or sometimes cats although there is a lot to choose from. The trees supply shade and a stream offers water, so the terra gives all that is needed. Sure, this two acre land may seem fine and dandy but it also has its disadvantages. Since the tall chain link fence is rather un-jumpable it makes it hard to flee in case of an emergency. It would also leave the pack cornered if another decided to attack, so you have to be rather careful.
