This is a substantial revision of my story Tigers are Predators, Humans are Prey, which I wrote for my English 351 class last quarter. For our final portfolio, we were required to make a major revision to one of our stories, and I re-wrote "Tigers" completely from the Tiger's P.O.V. I think the story is definitely improved. I meant to post this revision to LJ earlier, but just didn't get around to doing it until now.

Tigers are Predators, Humans are Prey

“WE RULE THE PLANET!”

The challenge reverberated across the dry moat, echoing off the sculpted concrete walls on the other side. A skinny human male with spots of acne and only the very first stirrings of a beard stood on the lip of the moat, his fist raised in the air defiantly. Across the gulf, on the grassy enclosure beyond, lay two Siberian tigers, ignoring the boy, just as they ignored most of the noisy visitors to the zoo. A third tiger, a tigress named Olga, turned her head to look at the source of the disturbance.
( More predatory behaviour. )

The "Continue this story by 5 words" project continues over on YouTube.

When I posted my last contribution, someone else (the project's originator, in fact) posted his own video response at the same time I did... so the storyline developed a "fork," with my direction pointing the plot one way, and his direction pointing the plot in a different way. Ah well, it happens ;-)

Since then, several people have followed up to his plot direction, but not mine, so I may want to re-work that video to follow the new plotline. But in the meantime, still wanting to contribute (and get some experience playing with iMovie's capabilities!), I've added a new segment to that plotline. Here it is:
