Nature exists in a delicate balance, and as king, we need to understand that balance, and respect all the creatures: from the crawling ant to the leaping antelope.
- Mufasa, The Lion King (1994)
This was the waking world within the land of the living, home to numerous lifeforms, great and small, and the means for subsistence: even though many have questioned the existence of others like, and unlike, them, that fact it exists is enough to provide such certainty; alas, all is not well in this globe in particular and the reasons are far too much as is.
Of them was a lowly tree stump, the byproduct of which industries have been beholden to by man, and/or whatever species represents: unlike most of them, it was capable of speech, much like the dominant lifeform in question, alongside potentially others like, and unlike, them; however, the problems of youth have been resonant all the same no less.
Much like him, a feline of Prussian blueblood and breed was trapped in a neverendingly poor excuse for a game, twisted by man and turnt by fate; although that the focus was off of the beast and his prey and predator, the consequence alone has been visited by the most unlikeliest of sources: a child with a chainsaw also targeted by a horse with a shotgun.
