Thursday – A Little Personal – The Puma and the Panther

~ John W. Howell

“The panther catches the puma off guard.”

“The puma reacts as an always-ready warrior.”

“The panther gets a jaw lock on the puma.”

“The puma thumps the panther on the head.”

“The panther breaks the puma’s hold.”

“The puma readies for the next attack.”

“Another jaw lock by the panther.”

“A ferocious roar by the puma throws the panther off.”

“The panther gets a nice chunk of chest fur.”

“The puma’s not worried since there is a lot of it.”

“The panther breaks the hold and gets ready for the death blow.”

“The puna prepares for the final thrust of the panther.”

“And so it comes. The panther siezes the puma by the throat.”

“The puma gives out another huge roar, scaring the panther.”

“The panther decides to let the puma live another day.”

“The puma congratulates the panther on a well-done game.”

“The panther wants to know where the puma is going.”

“The puma tells the panther that it is time for a trip outside.”

“Oh, good.”

“That’s what I thought.”

I have been working in business for over forty years and now have the time to work in special areas of interest. My passion has always been to create compelling stories of fiction. I have authored six novels and am working on my Seventh. The first novel is still in manuscript form and being utilized as a door stop in the laundry room. The second is a contemporary fiction novel of 89,000 words and is complete and I am currently seeking a publisher. I also write poetry but have not had the guts to share any with anyone. The one time I read a piece to a person their only comment was, “it doesn’t rhyme.” I will continue to write and hopefully my blog, Fiction Favorites at www.johnwhowell.com will provide some entertainment and an interesting thought or two. I live in the Austin area with my wife Molly and an assortment of loving pets.

  24. They are so adorable! I bet they can read your mind and plan how to distract you with their antics. Thank you for the smiles! 😊

    1. So glad you enjoyed the post. Reading minds is a talent that I’m sure they have. Of course, it takes a bit of mind-reading on my part to figure out what they are up to as well. Thank you, Gwen. Wishing you a peaceful weekend.

  29. Love the girls’ antics. They obviously like playing with each other, although I think Twiggy might get irritated from time to time. I’d love to see it in person, but this is the next best thing. Congrats to the puma for her restraint!
