The Divided Fall

The divided fall By Hannah Walker
     Once upon a time, in a land where you never assumed, per se, that a field was empty; there were 4, innocent, robust, oxen, who were temporarily residing in a seemingly empty field.  But, to their untimely fortune, or lack thereof, this field was not empty, oh no, this was the field of a legendary lioness. This lioness was the epitome of all other lionesses. She was remarkably swift, had perfect timing, and mind-bogglingly marvelous hair. There was just one chip in her perfect record, well; actually, there were four chips in her incredible record. Four sturdy, but daft oxen, that were practically impossible for this prodigy.
      The oxen always managed to slip out of the Lioness’ reach! Every time she got remotely close to the herd, ‘ORRRK!!!’ and they would gather together in a living, breathing, pointy hoop that would butt out the lioness every time she got near. But today, she had a really strong intuition that she would feast on hamburgers, for all four oxen were there and oblivious to her, and oh wait they are quarreling!!! Yes! Nothing is better than quarrelling!   She realized this was her best chance!
      This argument among the beast, started like this; the foolish oxen were still enjoying their munchies, when one ‘whacked’ another with its tail. This lead to another ‘whack’ in that direction, which humorously mistakenly went to the wrong oxen, this lead to ‘whacks’ being passed all around the group, and soon, the whole pack was quarrelling about who started the ‘whacks’. Since no one confessed, they were in a highly furious stage, so each ox irresponsibly left the pack, to a desolate corner of the field, alone. The lioness found this better than surreal, and swiftly struck each one at a time, leaving no time to ‘Ork’.  And being a rather large field, the oxen didn’t notice the lioness until it was too late. And soon, every ox was sadly devoured, and the lioness left the field, exceedingly content.
