Antelope Flees

lioness with her sights on the prize
antelope feels her; pops out her eyes
the chase is on
one is a pawn
antelope’s heartbeat is on the rise.

Indeed. And some of them can really outrun the lioness.

I do feel sorry for antelope being chased down by deer when I see it on video and yet I am too fascinated to turn it off until there is blood.
