It was good before they came, those big ones that killed us all. the predators were wolves and wildcats and they swept over the island like a wave killing and plundering the herds, the survivors were few, they were scattered about the island but one year there was a great storm the wildcats and wolves were killed or swept away by great torrents of water gushing down the stream beds.
Now there is nothing the storm hangs over the island like a blanket damping out all happiness that might grow there stands one tree in the middle of the island, the lightning treeit was an old cottonwood tree that had been struck by lightning in the great storm, leaving a great bolt shaped burn. It was agreed by the animals that this was the haven, an island of peace in a sea of war and no animals could be attacked if he stood under the lightning tree.
