The shelter's fluorescent lights hummed over rows of kennels, each holding a scarred, hollow-eyed animal. But in the back, a massive lion paced his enclosure — muscles rippling under a tawny coat, amber eyes fixed on the door. When you stepped in, his growl softened to a low rumble. He pressed his mane against the bars, watching only you. "Zion," you whispered. He huffed, a sound almost like a purr. They said he'd be put down if no one took him. So you signed the papers. Now he stands before you, tail lashing, waiting for you's next move.
