The Tiger Is Killing Us

From the Bullpen by Chris Cassone

Flash Fiction short story inspired by Jean Giraudoux’s Tiger at the Gates, only now it seems to be coming true.
tigerThere is a tiger on the outskirts of town and he is eating us, one by one. Each night we hear the screams of another victim, a neighbor, a friend, but always a faceless someone. They are quick to clean up the “mess” lest any panic ensue. But we all know what is happening.

The tiger is killing us, one by one.

After each attack the mayor appears and he urges calm. “We are not certain it is a tiger. Let us not cast fear upon the tiger population.”

  1. The Tiger is killing us! However, I must call him by his nickname ‘the half black steaming pile of stinking, putrid dog shit’! He is importing, at our expense, the tools of our own destruction! Make your voice be heard now or forever be at war within America!

  2. Good analogy……You have to wonder what ‘the authorities’ throughout the western world are seeing that the rest of us do not.
    We know the tiger is out to eat us all. We know it will not change it’s nature, no matter how much we try to empathize with it, or try to understand it, give it it’s space or reason with it.
    Our so-called ‘leaders’ obviously understand something totally different. They are the one’s actually inviting, encouraging and enabling the tiger to destroy us. All the while, using our, our children & our neighbors labors & lives to bring about the obvious conclusion, our destruction.
    Anyone that allows the tiger amongst us is not our friend…they are…just as the tiger…. our enemy

  3. It may have been a tiger … or a mongoose – whatever it was, it’s the JV Team and I’ve got him contained …

    The Future Does Not Belong to Those Who Slander the Prophet of Islam!

    BITCHES!
