Ever since I became an animal keeper at the city zoo, I could hear what the animals were thinking. And I was hosing down a black bear's enclosure one day when I felt eyes on me. I turned, and there it was, staring right through me. 'That keeper... she looks tasty,' it mused. 'Alright, I'm breaking out tonight. Gotta rip her to pieces and swallow her whole." I actually laughed. Shook my head and kept spraying down the rocks. Seriously? A bear? Escaping a maximum-security zoo? Tracking me across the entire city? Yeah, right. But that night, it did come to me.
