Hide. Wait. Run.

Hide. Wait. Run.

The wind grazed green grass,

leading to the horses.

They eyed the barn warily.

I let my gaze wander up the barn.

Then I saw them-

a shiver ran down my spine.

Murderous green eyes stared at me.

SLAM!

I started to hyperventilate-

Holding the door shut didn’t hold back my fears.

I still heard his deadly pawsteps-

Now walking outside the barn door.

A whimper escaped my lips,

Imagining those strong jaws around my leg. 

It must have been some hours later,

for I didn’t hear those deadly pawsteps. 

Creeping out, my feet ran fast,

and I found myself under a tree-

the tree of doom.

Growling.

Growling- 

From above.

My eyes wandered up to meet his. 

Fast as lighting, 

I raced out of reach. 

A gasp escaped me when I turned around-

The cougar followed me.

“Go away!” I screeched.

“You stupid, foolish thing!

To pick upon a child!”

Pain stumbled into his eyes,

And he shriveled away.

I ran to my mother,

And gave her a hug.

Safe. At last.
