The author's comments:

Each number represents a year in a life of abuse and neglect. I have seen people close struggling to escape or do not know what to do at all, this is a story...anyone's story of how a lone broken wolf becomes an angel of his/her own decisions. Let your mind flow free though when reading this, each point of view is different, but the key to each word, will give you a hint of what it is meaning is, by mearly its words...or merely one word can tell its story for itself.
