The zebra raised its head as its eyes began to glow a similar shade of red.

"Yes, yes!" Grim raised a foreleg in excitement.

A sudden burst of wind blew through the swamp, filling her and the rat's ears with noise. While neither of them could hear over the howling wind, both thought they could hear the deceased zebra moan.
