don't panic

walkin' through an unknown park w/ unkown people....suddenly start noticing strange animals...i think a lemur, an anteater, and red panda...so strange. upon realizing that the animals didn't belong...we came to conclusion that a zoo had somehow gotten busted wide open and all the animals came to this (big) park. before we ask ourselvse what "else" got out....a juvenile female lion comes walking slowly (but gaining) behind us...my first thought is don't freeze, but don't freak, guessing if i run the hunt is on.

we gradually increase our pace but she does faster and eventually is right on our heels..but still casual. i put out a hand to her snout, like meeting a dog for the first time, offering a smell. she licks it! and starts just kind of cuddling and headbutting and licking me. i relax a little.

out of the corner of my eye i see three cops standing in a firing line formation near a tree and a hysterical woman gunning down another lion :( i know if i call to them they'll immediately shoot this lion who SO FAR seems chill...but then she starts playing rougher and rougher...teething on my forearm and it's beginning to hurt...a lot. i'm trying to stay calm and "play" and not fight back...but the pain is getting unbearable and i'm losing my calm. feeling a sick feeling that fighting back would end badly...i reluctantly scream, "officers! help!" and they turn around and shoot her.

she immediately lets go and is shot to death in front of me.
