Behind the Giant Curtain

Behind the Giant Curtain

When the sparkles settle down, and the audience is hushed, a loud growl erupts from behind the enormous glittering curtain. Women gasp, children wail, and men try to silence them. Then a voice:

“Laaaaaaddieeeeessss aaaaaaannnd gennnntlemennnnnn, you are in for a treat tonight. A recent expedition to the tropical island of Mbok Tu, once thought to be uninhabited, found this rare specimen. Women, now is the only time to leave, for once you see it, there is no forgetting.”

A few minutes pass.

“And now, the moment you have all been waiting for…”

There it is, in all its untamed glory”
