Otter Creek Sound of Silence

her frame was built for speed and endurance, though that didn't make the task at hand any less difficult. she fought for her stomach, while the otter fought for it's life. i wonder in this tale of fate who would succeed?

she was closing the distance between herself and her future meal when a sudden plot twist in the story appeared in the form of a walking shadow. his intention might have been to help, but solaris was no mind reader. she saw only potential competition, and in fear that he may snag what she'd been working so hard for, she pushed herself to the max and went barreling towards her fleeing prey.

the otter was no fool either. as the distance between all three bodies collectively closed at a quick pace, the little mammal took a sharp turn back towards the security of the water. solaris' brakes weren't quite as finetuned though, and unless the inky furred stranger wished to become a crash mat, he best move.
