The Hunter and the Hunted

Night has fallen dark and deep creatures stir that had been asleep. A light from passing cars flash into the dark yellow eyes peer from the night a scurrying movement catches the eye then all is lost under the darken sky. One of our furry friends goes on a hunt looking for a meal that is hiding in the nearby field. Watching closely is another pair of eyes seeking its prey under that dark and cloudy sky. The feline friend crouches low, moving stealthily eyes fixed as an unsuspecting rodent scurries by knowing that a meal is about to be served. All the while in the dark of the night another pair of eyes gleaming yellow in the pass of the lights watches as its meal is about to be had. Silently without a sound the pet approaches its prey when out of the night the hunter becomes the hunted and dies in a most sudden way.
