I turned the corner and saw her. She was standing there, a thing of beauty with a long neck and big, deep, brown eyes. We locked onto each other, neither of us moving. For a brief moment it was just the two of us, two creatures' brains connected by the photons bouncing off our retinas, each sizing the other up. I debated saying something for a long, lingering few seconds before she twitched her ears, turned on her front legs and bounded off into the woods behind my house. Fucking deer.
