Tiger and I


I once asked a tiger to take me on a journey; to show me something, anything, it thought I should know. It asked me to follow it and it ended up showing me four things. First, I saw a field littered with carcasses and bones. I could not tell if they were human or animal. Second, it showed me a grave in a cemetery. I thought it was mine, but only for a moment. Next, it took me to a field where I saw daisies in bloom. I wondered how they'd smell. Finally, it led me to a small hill top where sitting under a tall shady tree, there was someone waiting for me. I thought, I hoped, she might be Dawn, the bringer of good tidings. The tiger left me there. I haven't seen it since.
