The leopard was born and grew up in the forests of Asia. He had never known anybody else like him, his kind. He had always been alone. He relied on himself, and fended for his own life. Through it all, he had remained happy being by himself. But a rare emotion will suddenly push him to go where he has never gone before. Out of the forest and into a city on the edge, he becomes an unexpected witness. No longer the predator, he becomes the unfortunate prey. "Wherever you go becomes a part of you somehow." - Anita Desai. Book #5 of the Blood-arc Series. ---------------- Fear stings like a sword to the gut. The harsh reality. You run on an endless road, beaten soles. But the darkness has no mercy, It is strong. It cannot be stopped. No matter how you regret, the dark will prevail Until your tired body falls, Defeated. ---------------- © SpidersandTea 2014
