While authorities search for a tiger that escaped from the local zoo, a group of people take shelter in a diner, not really worried about their safety, until a stranger appears who seems to have been attacked.
Genre: Fable
Excerpt:
Sally got on the phone, and I could tell she was calling her
neighbor to ask if they would look out for Frankenstein (their
calico cat). He was an outdoor cat and young. He could probably run
faster than other animals that were a threat, but another cat might
be a different story.
Sally pulled the phone away from her head. “Anyone know how fast it can run? Have they said?”
