chapter 1a

My Mom is a Lynx Mom. I am just a baby Lynx. I love my mom, and my mom loves me. But my story isn’t a fairy tale. It’s a dramatic story of change where I become a Lynx man.

This story takes place in the Mountains of Eastern Bohemia in the Czech Republic where my mom and I reside. We live a happy life. My mom goes hunting and then I eat. No doubt it is a savage world, And to be a savage is life here in the Mountains. Her favorite meal is rabbits. It is easy to catch for her and enjoyable to eat for me. As you can see, we live a fairly good life.

As a baby, I came to believe that rabbits were meant to be eaten. But I did soon grow out of that and I went through a phase where I was a vegetarian. I wanted to eat grass and I enjoyed root vegetables like carrots. If I was lucky to find them, I enjoyed the search; finding carrots as my mom brought me rabbits.

There was also Mayer Lynx who was the leader in this corner of the Forest. He protected us from other Lynx and the dreaded Wolves. Real trouble arose with a sound of chainsaws. I heard the grinding noise of one day, And saw the migration of many animals afterwards. Eventually, I would find out what the commotion was all about.
