The Zoo's deadly festival Ch 8

Of 

I had 

share the meat with them. Of course, it wasn’t much, just a little something extra

washing over me, and went to find the zoo director

The director, Mr. Green, was sipping tea in his office. He was a tall, thin man with goldrimmed glasses who looked surprisingly honest

When he saw me, he waved me in. Ah, Kate. Settling in alright? You’re a real expert. We’re lucky to have you.” 

I feigned distress. It smells terrible everywhere, and the animalsfood is so scarce. Is the budget really that tight? The animals are starving.” 

A flicker of something unreadable crossed Mr. Green’s face before he smiled and shook his head. I know, it’s tough. The city’s cut our funding. Haven’t you heard? Even the public hospital can’t make payroll. Who cares about a zoo?” 

Just focus on your work,he continued, and don’t worry about the rest. The animals won’t starve to death.He gestured for me to leave

I chose my words carefully. The Christmas is just around the corner. The park will be packed. If visitors see sicklooking animals and a filthy park, it won’t be good for our image. Someone might even post rumors online that we’re abusing them.”

Mr. Green’s hand paused. He looked thoughtful. He took a sip of his tea and praised me, You really are an expert. Always thinking ahead. But we have no money. Do 

you have any ideas?” 

Why don’t you try applying for more funding from the city?I suggested. We don’t need much, just enough to get us through the festival. We have to at least put on 

a good show.” 

I had laid out my plan. We both knew where the money was really going. I just needed him to spare a little to give the animals a decent holiday 

Mr. Green stroked his chin and nodded slowly. Alright, I’ll make a trip to the city. Ah, the things I do for these animals. I’ll run my legs off if it means getting a little 

more money for them!” 

He grandly ordered his car to 

be red 

I glanced at the laptop he always carried with

As I walked through the park, I eagerly 

a thoughtful expression on my face as I left

lain topic of conversation was the Tiger King

the 

group chat. The 

The tiger who could supposedly take down a hero 

With 

one 

punch was facing a difficult choice. He still hadn’t eaten the chicken legs I’d brought him, but he was 

close to breaking

SkyScreecher was giving a live commentary

< F S S 2 E =

He’s eating! He’s eating! His claw hooked a chicken leg! Oh my god, what a perfect hook! The leg is secure!

[Wait, he’s not eating! Look, his eyes are wide, he’s roaring at the sky! He’s fighting his instincts!

[He’s eating! He’s eating again! He licked the chicken leg! The smell of his drool is making me sick!

The other animals were on the edge of their seats. [Did he eat it or not?!] they all asked

[I’m watching! He ate it! He really ate it! Wow, it smells so good!

SkyScreecher cackled, and the chat erupted in laughter

Many animals started teasing him. [Tiger King, didn’t you say you’d rather starve to death, rather smash your head against the bars, than eat a single bite of Berry’s food?

[Hey, Tiger, how’s the chicken? Is it good?

Faced with the teasing, the Tiger King was surprisingly calm

[The female human thinks she can win me over like this. I’m just playing along. I need to eat to have the strength to break out of this cage.

He laid out his master plan: [Once I break out, I’m still going to deal with her!

I rolled my eyes

Dude, that can’t be right

[That’s not right! You can’t repay kindness with cruelty! The one who deserves to die is the director! He ate my sister!] a peacock with the username PeacockGlitchTM posted, his message full of emotion

[Yeah, yeah, go bite the director! Don’t bite Berry!

The other animals came to my defense

[Hmph. You fools. This is how you get tricked by humans. I will never be tricked by a human!
