Marrow

Marrow trotted down the canyon floor along the river that ran through it. She'd been dodging packs all morning, just looking for a good place to rest when she found the most incredible thing. A dead black bear! It had been decaying for awhile, picked at here and there by buzzards but she just couldn't pass up taking the head. It had taking Marrow some time to sever the spine and pull the head from the body, now with it clasped in her jaws she practically pranced with her tail waving like a banner. Every so often a clump of maggots would fall from the eye sockets but she didn't worry about that. She'd get it cleaned up.

Pleased as punch and excited for the task ahead she failed to notice that she was being stocked from above. A tiger, drawn by the scent of blood was following along on the ledge above, its tail twitching as it waited for the perfect moment… to pounce!
