The Lions Stopped Attacking Women, Part 1

The lions stopped attacking women. As a result, the culture changed. The guardian business would have floundered had it not been for consistent fear of coyote assault aside. But the lions wouldn’t take part in it anymore, for whatever reason. The busy, busy women, wrapped up in clothes pulling laundry would come across a lion a day. There were that many. And it happened still, that they would see each other, just exactly like before except for now the fear was different. Female lions, male lions, no longer spilling out of the fields like boiling batter made people wonder if it weren’t some kind of bad omen. Because it didn’t seem correct, and aside from the obvious benefits, people expected things had actually gotten worse, but that they just hadn’t found it out yet.
