He crouches
Every muscle coils
Ready to pounce at the slightest provocation
And yet
He waits
Patient stalker
10000 years of experience
Whispering
Telling him not yet
The unsuspecting half hidden prey
Stretches
Exposing vulnerability
There is no hesitation
Because there is no thought
Teeth and claws sink deep
Into the uncovered foot
Screaming, I make a gesture to kick at him
But he is already gone
Victorious
Claiming as spoils
An undefended slipper
