Predator Attack

And there they were…

Those beautiful, delicious-looking roses, staring at me with an evil eye…

I wanted to pounce on my prey immediately, but I had to be stealthy or else they might run away.

I lurked behind the desks and under the chairs.  I kept a close watch on such a valuable item.  No one was to steal my precious flowers.

As I slowly inched closer to the prize, my heart began to race faster and faster.  I felt like it was going to explode.  Blood pumped through my veins with intense excitement and anticipation. 

With one quick leap, I jumped onto the roses and snatched them out of their vase.  Water spilled everywhere as the vase went crashing to the ground from the impact.  People stared at me but I took no heed.  I jumped away and hid in the freight elevator room to enjoy my snack.

One by one, I picked off the delicate, red petals and placed them on my tongue, slowly savoring the taste of such a high quality bouquet.  I even ate the stem, although it pricked my mouth a little bit.

Then, I heard a loud knock on the door.  Someone had found my hiding spot and wanted to steal the remaining bits of my loot.  I grabbed whatever bits of the roses I could and swiftly flew out the side door into the drama room.  

Little did I know, I had left remnants of my plunder on the floor behind me that showed a distinct trail of my travels. 

I would be in a world of trouble if they caught me and seized my glorious roses.
