Antelope's Clear Day

I’ve Got This, 12.30.17

A beautiful sable antelope approaches a drinking area in the open land of the wild.

It is super quiet and the animal is impressed that everything is perfect and still. A group of Meerkats are staring in the distance beneath a looming tree looking back and forth from the antelope to the horizon. The antelope notices a leaf drift into the water and removes it gently.  She looks at the pristine water glistening in the noon day sun. She looks at the sky clear without spot or blemish. She smiles at the Meerkats gathered.  Her eyes gleam as she sees her reflection in the water and blinks.  A little tumble weed rolls by in front of her and it startles her. She smiles and ushers the bundle along. She looks back to the sky and sees the breeze tickle a little bird along its way. She gently scratches the ground and prepares to take a sip of water by pursing her lips. Her head falls toward the glistening water. A little dirt is seen rattling by her feet. She turns her head slightly to the left and the Meerkats turn their head slightly to the right. Seeing nothing, she goes back to take a sip when suddenly a herd of Wildebeests charge through the water and spin her around and around. She is disheveled and confused. The water is muddied. The tumble weed is in the tree where the Meerkats once stood. The Meerkats are all atop the antelope’s head. The antelope does the splits with all four legs and the Meerkats scatter in different directions. The little bird (shakes the water off her feathers and the droplets hit the antelope) or the bird takes a sip of the muddy water.

No one can predict the movement of the crowd. You can do all you can do to prepare for what you want and think the conditions are fine, but again… nothing and no one can control the movement of other people.
