Prey!

By Ashwani P.A

Into the wilds, between the green grasses...

I feel the presence of the staring eyes...

Am I in your territory ?

Are you just stalking me!

With a confused yet powerful notion

I sense a terror around me!

Raising my tail high in fear, I direct my herd to move far from here...

Rustling of grasses increase the horror,

As I feel footfalls approaching me.

As soon as I take a jump ahead,

Sharpness of his teeth is felt in my spine..

Numbness of the lower body didnot make me clinging vine..

As I raise my limbs to move a bit faster,

His claws entered into my body making it a disaster!

The intense bite made me sleep forever,

I couldn't get up there after!
