Many children do not remember their fourth birthday party. At such a young age, it’s difficult to truly grasp the concept of time and memory without some sort of significant occurrence taking place, whether it be the death of a family member or a trip to Disney World.

Hooves once wild and free lay afoot along the dirt trodden trail and now align themselves to the never more. They were seduced by the hungry breath of the cats who left scratch marks on their backs like wild fingerprints. The price of freedom in this mecca of wildlife is steeper than the mountain trails of the Atlas Mountains near Morocco, and requiring the stealth and cunning observations of their locals.
