Short story by Kirsteen Lyons

I took a large box of large game bullets, and went to the wild.

When I had consumed every luxury man makes I was dull, and jaded by every vice. I took a large box of large game bullets, and went to the wild.

I was eager to consume new things, know new things. I used the large box of large game bullets and consumed rhino, and cheetah, and elephant, and ibex, but I did not see tiger.

I made a fire on the edge of the forest and ate and ate...

I used the large box of large game bullets and consumed giraffe, and wild dog, and python and leopard, but I did not see tiger.

I made a new fire of the edge of the forest and ate and ate...

...I grew very fat, first it was hard to run, then it was hard to walk, and still I consumed until I had consumed all of the large box of big game bullets.

I made a fire on the edge of the forest and ate and ate...that is when I saw tiger.

Tiger was vast and orange and he walked his vast white smile out of the forest and sat it down next to me.

Tiger spoke in a polished brass purr, “Why did you come to the wild?”

I looked at tiger’s vast white smile and I tried to explain, “I wanted to consume more, I wanted to have what men had and what animals had, I wanted their experiences, their knowledge in me.”

“And did you consume their knowledge?” Tiger asked.

Now I smiled, “I must have, I said, patting my fat body, for it is all inside me.”

Tiger smiled wider, “Well now, I can teach you something about knowledge, it is never consumed; only ever shared.”

And so I understood.

And then it was tigers turn and he consumed me.

Kirsteen Lyons BA (Hons) attended Heriot Watt University where she studied Textile Design and specialised in print. At university she won two industrial competitions and was headhunted as a result for her first textiles job.

With her daughter starting school Kirsteen returned to work with the launch of "Enchanted Textile Design" creating drawing-led, contemporary textile design. She has continued to grow the business and now has a son as well.

Here is a comment from one of her clients: "First and foremost, the prints you sent us are AMAZING! I'm very glad I signed you as an artist, your work is impeccable! I'm happy with what you sent us. Your work is perfect for us."
