“
Hundreds of false rumors of alleged attacks by the man-eater were brought to us, entailing endless miles of walking, but this was only to be expected, for in an area in which an established man-eater is operating everyone suspects their own shadows, and every sound heard at night is attributed to the man-eater.

14 - Maneater
In miniature you look easy enough,
A gentle enemy, how foolish I was,
I pressed in, pressed my luck,
Took a bite, had my fill,
I never knew you were poison ‘till
My lips wet with blood, my own swill,
I collapsed on your corpse,
You held me still,
Your vines drew me in, your leaves enclosed,
Oh how quickly the poison goes,
Oh how thickly the forest grows.
