Bet that hare wishes its eyes were as white as the rest of it. It might have had a better chance then. The bobcat might have sauntered jauntily by. But the cat’s back is arching and its left front paw is up and it’s looking at that eye, like a charcoal briquette eye on a snowman. The sky suggests that it might be a moonlit night or one of those bleak midwinter days when the sky never seems to brighten. It’s a staring contest now, the kind you used to have with your friend as a kid, only this isn’t friendly, this is no Looney Tunes cartoon. It’s in deadly earnest—reality, not reality TV. The bobcat might hesitate; the hare might blink. One thing is certain: there will be a mad dash for freedom that is also a mad dash for dinner.
