30 Day Writing Challenge - Day 13

Day 13: Write about a zoo animal

Lions and tigers and bears. But mostly lions. A whole pride of them, majestic as they sun themselves on the flat rock. Even from a distance I can feel their strength, their power lurking just under the surface until a need arises. Tails flicking lazily, they peer out at the vast landscape. Do they see me? Do I run?They don’t seem hungry, at least not for human flesh. I snap another picture, trying to capture their savage beauty. The photo won’t do them justice however. But I have to chronicle this trip some way other than in my head. If only everyone could see what I see when I look at these amazing animals instead of a trophy.
