Another Thursday, but not any Thursday. Today it's my Upsideclown.

I stand naked under the African sun, a knife in one hand, a spear in the other. Never has the air tasted as fresh as this. I take one step backward, one forwards and then another. I hunch. My eyes drink the light, greedily. The leopard faces me only metres away, head to the floor, back arching skyward.

I explore, as ever, the fundamental truths of life and humanity, and in doing so take on the leopard face-to-face. What is that? I hear you ask. Come, learn, understand: The truth about the leopard.
