Hidden, crouched in shadows.
Stalking ever closer.
Weapon at the ready
A carless step.
A twig snapped.
Hunters give away.
Prey’s ears twitch.
Head turns slowly,
Seeing hunter in the shade.
A startled gasp.
Rest turns to running.
Hunters chase.
A dash through the forest.
Prey flees for safety.
Fearing for it’s life.
Hunter follows to kill.
