Yesterday I got a radio call from one of my guards. At first I thought he asked if I would like to eat a chameleon... I asked him for a repetition. Would I like to see a chameleon?
Yes.
I walked out of my office toward the compound and found a chameleon larger than my hand just lounging on the ground. This was strange. I took a few photos before I realized it had broken its leg after falling out of the tree. He was so scared, mouth open whenever my camera lens got close, poor little buddy didn't even know what color to turn. This was clearly the first, and last, time he'd ever be photographed.
I asked my guard to take him into the forest... to a "better place". We did not eat him.
Makes me wonder how many are watching me from the trees as I pass beneath their individually moving eyes.
