This is the beginning of a story. An adventure of sorts. I hope you enjoy this.
Ezra was born as most tigers are, in the usual tiger fashion. And like most tigers, he lived in the forest. His father was the typical tiger father, not one to pull punches when the annoying cub does something he may not understand. His tigress mother was the usual protective, but subservient to the larger male. Ezra saw all the other tigers around him and realized he was a little different. Growing up he took different approaches to all of the usual tiger ways, and was shunned by the normal feline society. This all made Ezra extremely frustrated as a cub. Luckily he met another cub in the group that he could relate with, that understood him. Ezra and his friend Tom would play games, travel as far as their reach could go, and try to woo the tigresses. Through thick and thin, Ezra and Tom were inseparable for many years. There were years when Tom and Ezra would spend time with other animals in the forest, Jericho the snake, crazy Bill the baboon, and Julian the elephant. Many times Ezra, Tom, Jericho and Bill would ride atop Julian the elephant on many adventures. They would all play fight each other, play games, and consume large amounts of the fastest of foods. That was, until for some strange reason Ezra's parents decided to force him and his cub brother to live with a different group of tigers, closer to the edge of the forest. Ezra once again was alone and shunned my the majority of the pack. Little did he know that it was here in the edge of the forest he would find his life changed forever.
Until next installment, I hope everyone is doing stellar.
