Tiger Eyes

Something shining, glinting in the Darkness, golden points of light stare back at me, and tell me just where the predator hides, waiting to spring upon me. Will the beauty tear me apart? Or will it leap in play, purring like a kitten? The mirror clouds over, hiding what it sees. And I know, the danger lies within.
