Stan later thought about his situation. He doesn’t think he was there to be dinner. If that were the case wouldn’t it stand to reason he’d already be dead? How many creatures chose to sleep with the prey before killing it? None. That would be an incredibly bad policy for a predator. it would in fact almost guarantee that you would wake up with the prey gone or a slit throat or both. Then there was the moss on the back of his head. It turned out he had bled out of his head. Of course it was anybody’s guess whether the moss stuck to the back of his head was some he picked up while sleeping on the mat of leaves and twigs or if it had been an attempt to help heal him but he liked to think it was the latter. If that were true then consider what that animal was willing to give up in order to help him. It couldn’t stay where it was; or else risk him coming back with men with guns etc. There was also the admittedly much less likely chance that he could have gotten a rock and attempted to bash its brains in when they were sleeping together.
