“Shoot him” whispered the boss.”I want it all over in two minutes”.
The atmosphere was tense. The handful of people around could sense that something was going to happen though they didn’t hear anything the boss said. Of course, seeing what they were seeing was not what most people on Earth are accustomed to!
But they would all see it today. It would be among the most unforgettable days of their lives.
The predator adjusted his position. The victim was still unaware of what was happening, happily roaming around.
The predator had been preparing for this moment long enough. He had to prove that he was worthy of this opportunity and that he could survive in this trade. He could not afford to miss his mark or his timing. Those above him didn’t show much mercy.
It was as if no one could make a noise, defining the clichéd pin drop silence. The sense of anticipation was clearly visible in his eyes when the boss whispered again, “Get done with it will you?! How long more?!!” Impatience was clearly flowing through the body of the boss.
The man knew his moment had come. It was now or never. With a sudden rush of confidence, he just pressed his finger against the agent of his success.
It was done. The people around gasped while he heaved a sigh of relief.
The boss patted him on his back. “Good work boy! Steve! Didn’t I always tell you the boy was a great Photographer?!”
The tiger now decided it was all getting too noisy for him and moved away.
