The jungle game

415 / 5 000 In a parallel universe, perhaps, on the wooden terrace of what appears to be a lodge, in the tropical jungle (but what tropics?), under the warm glow of an orange star. A graceful young woman, long hair and jaded gaze, languid in a large wicker armchair, has on her lap a black cat with a worried look. She holds it by the neck, tightly. It must not manage to escape?

In front of them, on the floor, a big ball of Mandarin color, or maybe a small balloon, mirror of the planet that dominates the scene.

A cocktail is just begun on the buffet, it’s time for an aperitif, night comes. On the wooden furniture, next to the glass with orange content, sits the cubic sculpture of a green cat-god lagoon.

In the background, behind the terrace, carpet behind the leaves and emerald stems, in the dense forest, an animal. He has a black coat and a yellow look and curious, he observes and watches. Watches his prey, his ball, his child, his human?

No matter, it will be dark and it will be time for the game, the Jungle Game. The Jungle game. Enjoy your aperitif.
