the savannah had grown silent. uhuru did not follow the lionesses as their trails became quieter.
alone, the great golden beast paced through gilt grass beneath an unrelenting sun. he hunted warthog in the evening, picking clean the bones of piglets.
but he was lonely. it was not easily or often said, especially not for a man of his stature, but uhuru knew why he roamed.
large the unknown lump in his sunlit land. or once it had been so; now a bleeding mouth in the sky gathered all light to it and spat it back poison.
he knew it canine, and broad teeth unsheathed in broadsword fashion.
uhuru paced until he was within feet of the animal, a grating growl growing louder in that gloom the color of exposed muscle.
