Q: I think my heart might explode...and I'm okay with it.

Ah…assume your friend became a part-time zookeeper at the quaint Central Park Zoo. I was to be in charge of caring for a wild bobcat; its unpredictable nature makes it an interesting study and a sight to behold for visitors of all walks of life. People could not pet the animal for it frightens them, yet one does not understand how this creature that resembles every bit of a domestic household pet could be so vicious. As zookeepers, we are expected to interact with it, learn its body language, and when the bobcat goes in for the kill, deal with it. I survived a burst mode today. It came out of nowhere, a point I’d like to say meant that we know not a reason to have set it off. My bobcat targeted smaller preys indiscriminately, and caught in its fury, I escaped the pandemonium with scratch wounds. Thankfully, the deeper ones are below my right thumb. Scrappy lil fellow.

Full bar,
