Not all things dangerous were evil. Not even most. Often, they were just hungry. He couldn't blame them for that. This fact rarely comforted his erstwhile companions, so he refrained from later commenting on the contents of their dinner plates. (Even the vegetables were once happy, growing things rent from their beds in their prime). "Life lived on life," as someone once said. Today he was fortuitously alone as he let himself admire the lethal grace of the large predator hunting just below his hiding place. Fortunately, sense of smell was not its strong point. Nothing left but the waiting.
