What Is That In the Trees

Out of the trees slithered a dark shadow.
As it got closer, it transformed into a big cat.
A jaguar with glowing eyes and enormous teeth.
We knew it was too late to run.
Alive to tell the tale?
Not exactly.

Probably an Aga-pantha. Gone all Christie. Visions of Cat Among the Pigeons. Not exactly alive, spooky. Is an exorism required?

I was insinuating that I was writing from the others side; not well I see.
