Intestines

The male is standing not too far grazing every so often tossing a glance back at the nursing pair before grazing again.

My thoughts are a whirlwind of questions and self-loathing for my actions.

Before long, the male picks up his head alert, the female follows suit.

While I was busy adjusting to the situation they began to move as I could tell they are scared.

This seems impossible to me because these monstrosities are so… monstrous!

It was feint but the bushes shake and the male bolts it.

Running upstream as fast as his six legs can carry him which was damn fast but the female hesitates... not for long as she dashes behind him.

Classic case of survival instinct overriding parental instinct.

The biggest cat I have ever seen jumps out with fur that matches the red grass behind it.

Its eyes lock on mine and I know I am done for.

I struggle to get up but my sense of balance in this new body wasn't there.

I panic.

It knows I am afraid.

Licking its lips with its dark yellow-red eyes it pounces on me reaching me with one lunge.

I felt the soft fur of its mane as it brought its mouth down.

The crisp sound of my neck breaking was all I heard.

The last sight I see is twin moons high in the sky along with the colors of the setting sun.

My body shakes as the cat devours my intestines.

I am falling upwards again I know this feeling now I know what is going to happen.

Sure, enough the pain comes.

It doesn't wash over me it hits me like I suddenly belly-flopped into the ocean surface from a thousand feet in the air.

The never-ending pain.

I didn't despair in the beginning this time.

I thought if I could survive this, I would get another chance.

I would get an opportunity to live and figure out what was happening to me.

All plans are laid to waste after the first decillion seconds.

I lost my hope then but ninety million years later I found further madness because it stopped.

It abruptly stopped, with no rhyme or reason it just stopped only to resume within the same moment.

I do not know how long it was before it stopped again.

I took solace in the fact that If I sent it back it would be like the last few times.

The pain resetting and starting from the beginning.

Why is this happening to me?

That was the last question I had before I lose consciousness again.
