Wellington, Massachusetts once a sprawling city with a population of half a million has been declining as of late with the transference of many manufacturing jobs overseas or to Mexico. If one was to consider just the size of the population as the only requirement for being a city then Wellington was in trouble of being down graded to a town. The last census put the city as have a population of just slightly over hundred thousand. Every year the City Council is raising taxes, inventing another, reducing services, or cutting services. Most jobs in Wellington now a days are in the service industry or require an expensive post high school education. Just last year escapehere.com listed Wellington in there 10 Worst Cities to Visit in the United States and neighborhoodscout.com listed Wellington in their Top 100 most dangerous places to live in the USA.

Tourism dried up after that, what museums survived the Great Recession of 2007 have since shuddered their doors and boarded up their windows. The zoo had their water supply poisoned by unknown individual(s). Many of the animals were killed, the ones that survived were given to other zoos around the world for their own safety.

The woods outside the city limits no one dares visit if they value their lives. One of the first services to have their budget cut was Animal Control, eventually it was out right eliminated. Without Animal Control the wild animals became to much of a problem. The last person to enter the woods was four years ago, he was looking for his daughter who had run away from home. He came back carrying what little of her remains he could find. He had to be rushed to the hospital from his own wounds. He didn't survive, by the end he was begging God and the hospital staff to let him die.

A secret exists in the woods, one that is heavily protected. It is a sanctuary for those that can live in the human world and in the animal kingdom.
