title: Wild Golden Obsession
author: McKown, Linda
description: There was a legend long ago about a woman who loved tigers. She taught them how to traverse the river to new hunting grounds. The tigers named the beautiful female, Goddess, and gave her special powers in return for her help. This story is about another young woman who, unfortunately, made a mistake when she took two rare, golden antiquities. She felt it was payment for her time. Evil people disagreed and tracked her. They were close. Imminent danger existed no matter where she lived. Caught in a field, there was no means of escape. She could see the jungle man’s teeth in her nightmare. The pungent smell of early death surrounded her. The weeds enveloped her wounded body. She called out to her golden tiger.
