Dealing with Tigers

I kept biting until my mouth was weak and drool was dripping from the corner of my lips. He touched my head, “You’ve been biting for so long, aren’t you tired? I’m getting tired just standing here.” Finally, he spoke? I shook off his hand and threw myself into his arms to dry my tears. “Jerk! You have no idea how scared I was…” Tears flowed again. “I don’t blame your dad, but I didn’t expect you to treat me like that… You’re not human!” His slender fingers wiped my tears.
