Ah, one of the 2 lessons of classic cartoons: Predators never eat! (Sylvester never catches Tweety-Pie, Wile E. Coyote never catches the Roadrunner, etc…) The other lesson is: Nothing can kill you.
I remember a similar plot where Karma finds a spider in the house and lets it loose in to the wild. A fly comes by and lets her know that the spider killed her son. Karma did not take it well.
One of the things I look forward to the most is seeing that kind of rationalistic arrogance put to permanent rest by long-prophesied real-world experience.
Enjoy your pretexts while you have them. They won’t be around forever.

Hero! Villain! Anti-hero? Manic! Depressive! It’s enough to make a little dragon’s head spin!

Just remember, a hero is a villain to the villains

Always two sides to a story. Reminds me of a Perry bible Fellowship strip: http://www.pbfcomics.com/archive_b/PBF106-Billy_the_Bunny.jpg

Awww. Boody needs a hug! Well at least nobody died this time, unlike when Karma saved a spider.

“This is a classic drama! The hero becomes the villain becomes the victim! Everyone changing places and maybe changing in the process.”

That very idea was the spark behind Stephen Donaldson’s Gap Cycle.

Oh, I respect the spiders. Too bad the SpiderHunters (black wasps) don’t respect them!
