56| The Tiger

Tragedy with a View

You won't see him waiting in the dark. Sitting just inside the shadows so that the light doesn’t touch him. And he has been waiting here, for you, for days.

If you would have taken the time to slow down, you might have noticed the footprints surrounding the cabin, in a calm and even stride.

But now, it is too late.

Because you wounded him. You stole from him. And now, it is his time to get his revenge.

And all you can do is try to defend your life. But as the seconds tick by, it becomes more and more apparent that the entire community around you will begin to wonder if man is really as strong as we think we are.

Or if the top predator is really that of the tiger.
