A maned lion stares out

Excitement for Safari
Didn't let me tarry
Giraffes, elephants! So much to see!
But lion's gaze said it Wanted to Eat Me!
I won't be its quarry!

He was friend-shaped~ I almost had a crush
Till in his mouth went Dean’s hand that feeds him
On the inside, he was no longer plush
Chances we’d go out are now very slim

“Not going back in,” Ann mumbles.
“You gonna sleep in the rain? Go into town and get caught?”
Ann shrugs. “Better jail than there.”
“How is jail better than a cave with me?”
“Better’n THAT cave. Gotta bad feeling. Like it…”
I stare as Ann trails off.
“What?”
“LIKE IT WANTED TO EAT ME.”

"Have you seen that? That giant over there looked at me with hungry eyes. The he came over and wanted to eat me!"
"Well, what do you expect? You're a sausage."

Nom nom nom 🐈
It wanted to eat me, I know it did
Covered me in bite marks from top to rear
Looked cute at first like a small harmless kid
But in truth it was a creature to fear

"Where's the tiger gone, Joe?"
Joe shrugged indifferently, picking at his teeth with a sharp stalk of straw. "It wanted to eat me." His voice echoed his shrug.
"So, what? You let it out?"
Joe smiled, inspecting the shred of meat he'd finally dislodged with the straw.
"So I ate him first."

"Aww. Why aren't you two getting along?" Len rubbed the head of the black cat.
"It wanted to eat me!" Joe yelled from across the room.
Len rolled their eyes, "He's a house cat, Joe, not a tiger, get a grip."
"Len. I swear. It tried to eat me. That THING is not a house cat!"

Cataclysmic shattering
Left unhealed rifts in my heart
Marrow and sinew #affected
Of this world I turn down my part
Fearlessly #dreaming_of_shadows
Come, wordless monster-𝑖𝑡’𝑠 𝑚𝑒 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑤𝑎𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑑 𝑡𝑜 𝑒𝑎𝑡
Across the #fractured veil I peer
Bargaining my longed-for retreat

It was a difficult concept to grasp, Jared thought, as he watched his fellow hunters clean piss from their legs. They squabbled and chittered as he chewed on his jerky.
"It wanted...it wanted to eat me!" Walt squealed.
"You should be happy to be on the food chain at all." Jared snarked.

"I thought it wanted to eat me." Jin held his baby chimera. "Not sure how Strawberry Milk is going to feel."
"Your little fox friend needed friends anyway..." Cosmo patted the chimera's head. "You spoil it too much."
"You think this flying jaguar, snake, goat thing is going to help?" #hbp94

predators leering

It wanted to eat me, It wanted to dance It wanted to fight me I could tell by its stance. At first, I was scared, Those teeth were so frightening. But I noticed real quick They were no good for biting. So grateful we were For no hasty decisions We built right there the best friendship That we could envision. For my new friend, out his mouth, I pulled and I yanked Till the teeth were out whole And I was gratefully thanked. When it ended my new friend Was still hungry I could tell, So I cooked him lamb shank And chewed it up for him well. Because if he did not eat, And enjoy it all through No sore mouth could stop me Becoming his dinner too.
Didn't think I'd have time again, but got this in 20 minutes!

I didn’t hear my alarms
Nor did I hear it
Chewing my books
Disappearing my pictures
Gnawing on the crisp wood
Of my home
It wanted to eat me
Devour me completely
Choke me and spit out
My ashes
But the smoke only woke me
And I clawed my way out
With time to see
Everything burn

'Your Honor, that thing tried to eat me', cried the plaintiff.
The judge turned to the defendant.
'Your Honor, this is fluffy" said Hagrid, "He's a sweet little puppy".
The 'puppy' meowed twice then coughed up a fireball.
"Judgement for the plaintiff" shouted the judge, banging his gavel. #hbp94
It wanted to eat me, but I didn't give a damn. To be eaten by a tiger, what a glorious way to go. Then some maniac tried to shoot it, this beautiful beast, so I survived... at least.

"It had been three days in the wild with no shelter and no safe place to rest for even a minute. I still had no idea where they were or how close, and had to keep moving. But there it was... with those eyes."
"And then what, grandpa?"
"Well, I was pretty sure it wanted to eat me."
"Did it?!"

How we flirted across the heights –
Me, dashing forth with playful bites,
And you, nonchalant and serene,
An eight-legged reproduction machine.
But after my mating dance had proved a winner,
You licked your lips and ate me for dinner.

It wanted to eat me. I saw hunger, intent. Courage made foolish by recklessness. I was never scared, never going to run. It was lost, on its own. It may have been human but me…I was a Tiger.

It wanted to eat me. It had no idea how badly I wanted to be consumed. #hbp94

I felt the tiger's growl rattle in my chest, clutching at my heart, threatening to pop it like a balloon. The creature's eyes peered into me with intent, muscles tensed to strike. It wanted to eat me, I was going to die. I didn't have the tools at hand to escape. I had to accept my fate.

I am a born and bred city person. And, yes cities do have perils, but I have never heard of or experienced ‘it wanted to eat me’ in NYC, SF, LA, CHI or Seattle. If you sign up for in the wild adventures, I say have fun and good luck. But if you get eaten, it’s what you paid for. #prompt
It wanted to eat me. Must have been those hundreds of beady little eyes, bigger than its tiny little tummy. Or maybe the hundreds of wee little babies that scurried from her egg sack toward me. Neither they nor momma spider were going to eat me. Not in one sitting. Not while I was awake?

"It wanted to eat me.
Tiny, unblinking, relentless.
Every time I reached in
to clean the tank,
it lunged—mouth gaping,
toothless but determined.
Maybe it's mad at me for
forgetting its fish food yesterday."

The ferocity of its gaze was not a deterrent...pushing past was the only option.

"It wanted to eat me."
"No, it didn't. It won't ever do that to you."
"How did you know that? Its eyes keep following me." She hid behind him to avoid the tiger's intense perusal of her.
He turned to face his wife to give her a hug.
"You see, your husband's soul is inside that tiger."
