serious.

“We’ll have to let the other dogs know about this. I can only hope they don’t isolate me all over again.” He remembers the hurt he felt as the dogs had jeered at him, before he became a hero. His head jerks up. “And Jenna?”

She looks at him with a strong gaze, and it gives Balto a creepy feeling. It feels like she’s reading his mind, probing for answers. His heart beats hard and fast.

“You have to promise me that, whenever the time comes, when I go rabid, you have to kill me. Kill me and then run away as fast as you can. Promise me that, Jen?” Jenna turns away. “Jen?”

Slowly, she looks up at him with teary eyes. Balto licks the salty tears away and nuzzles her. “I know it’s hard, Jenna, but please, promise me. It’s the only way. Say you will.”

Jenna is silent for a moment, then lets out a cry of pain and nuzzles Balto, hard.

“…I will.”

:) Nice to see redwolf03'sstoriesa re still being read.

Since redwolf03's not here to comment, I'll take a stab at it. Unfortunately I think all of your points are pretty accurate (though this is the first I've heard of rabies being a potential STD). As a writer, all I can say is that sometimes being a writer means a certain degree of experimentation, and that means a certain degree of non-success. Even Edison had more than 1,000 failures before he got the light bulb to work.

At first I was incredulous that Balto could have survived for six years with the Rabies virus but I was surprised to learn that the incubation period in humans could last this long. But, I don't understand how Jenna could forget her adventure with Balto. You would think almost dying several times would have stuck in her memory more than Balto's appearance and name. I guess she hit that tree hard enough to give her slight retrograde amnesia :icon300:. Also, did anyone think Balto's reasoning for keeping his secret was weak? He kept his secret because he wanted to see if Jenna would remember him? Are you serious? No wonder the town didn't trust him, Balto's a psycho. Also, what Balto did was downright criminal. The rabies virus can be spread through sexual contact and he knowingly agreed to have puppies with Jenna. If you tried that in real life, you would get locked up. Lastly, how is Jenna going to fulfill her promise to kill Balto if he shows symptoms? Wouldn't biting him, cause her to become infected? Just my thoughts, if you believe I'm thinking too deeply about this, you're probably right. It's fun to analyze these stories.

At first I didn't like the story at all, but then after I mulled the concept over a while, I realized it isn't so bad. It's actually pretty cool for Balto to have a secret that dangerous!

I thought this was a pretty good story. Why are people so upset about Balto getting rabies for, anyway? It's a thing that happens in real life. Dogs get rabies all the time.

So are you saying Balto was a carrier (one who carries a disease and passes it to others but never gets sick
themselves) ?
