YOU'RE HERE AND THEN YOU'RE GONE

The coyote ran, faster and faster. He could feel his heart pounding heavily in his chest, his paws making short, hard contact with the earth beneath him. Tedros Talik’s gait fell into place with hers as she began to slow down, his stride becoming an ectype of her own. Then, just at the opportune moment, he felt Barry burst out of the brush. Ted could hear male’s jaw clench onto her stomach, followed by the rewarding sound of tearing flesh and scent of a fresh meal. It was only then that their prey threw them off, changing directions in a way only a creature about to die could do. Her adrenaline was intense, but only spurred the hungry coyote’s speed.

The two canines never lost track of her scent. Her body eventually gave out, either due to exhaustion, blood loss, or a combination of the two. Ted’s new accomplice shot him a look of achievement as they approached their target. The coyote’s heart was still pounding, but he could feel it slowing as he came to a stop. Red colored eyes peered down at the doe, watching impatiently as her breath slowed. With another glance toward Barry, the coyote dug his teeth into her neck both to stop her suffering and to speed up their (quite literal) fast-food lunch.

Tedros continued to eat, feeding his body well for the first time in a while. ”It’s been a while since I’ve gotten any big game,” he said, mouth half-full of the warm, tender deer. Regardless of their teamwork, Ted felt like he owed the wolf a thank-you, but at the same time felt that it would be awkward. He hoped his statement showed enough gratitude. He began digging deeper into the carcass, his maw becoming a bloody mess. It was nice to feel the warm blood of a good meal on his lips again.
