Story:

---

A cold breeze rushed through the mountain hiking trail as a pair of leather boots steadily strutted upwards and onwards. October was never much of an impressive tiger, standing at 5’7”, he never really lived up to his genetics expectations. Growing up he watched as his friends slowly surpassed him in height and stature, while he stayed juust below average. His family usually sees their males hit at least the 6’3” mark, but sometimes life just has different plans. He furrowed his brows as he remembered his cousin who has to duck under most doorways - jealousy can really pang into your stomach.

Whatever. Right now, let’s just try to enjoy the view. Keep going, one step in front of the other, just like always.
In hopes of filling out some meat on his slender frame, October packed his backpack especially well. If he was already undertaking this journey, might as well make the most of it, no?
Gyms, workout routines, eating half his body weight in proteins - nothing was successful in putting on muscle. Most likely, all that extra baggage will be an unnecessary nuisance. But, again, whatever. Maybe something will change one day. Maybe his puberty just slept a decade too long.

October paused his trail for a second and sighed along with the rustling leaves. All his problems and self doubt seemed so, so small whenever he looked into the distance. Mountains turning into hills over the horizon, houses and forests seemingly microscopic from up here. Maybe things were going to be all right after-

“OUCH!” he suddenly exclaimed; some huge insect just stung him in the neck! The winged creature simply carried on with its day and left the scene with a loud *BZZzzzzt*. The tiger scratched the swelling spot while sighing out loud, again. “Give me a break.”, he whispered. Luckily, the initial pain was mostly due to the shock. An annoying itch was exactly the kind of inconvenience that could really destroy this moment.

October kept on tracking upwards towards the peak. When the sky began to turn orange and the wind became colder, he built up his tent and began setting base camp for the night. It was nothing extraordinary, just a singles person tent and a snuggly bedroll. He yawned. This journey sure is exhausfing, but before signing off for the day, the feline took a moment to browse his brochure on the local flora and fauna. Maybe the unnecessary weight was useful after all - he just wanted to make sure whatever insect stung him was not venomous. But that question was not to be answered tonight, as none of the critters listed in the encyclopedia fitted his mental description even remotely. Weird. But, whatever.

He turned off the torch and dozed off - while tenderly scratching the ever-so-slightly itchy spot that was now spreading a warm sensation through his neck.
