Mnemonic
A tiger gives you a slow, deliberate stare from the tall grass. Its eyes lock onto yours, unblinking. It hasn't pounced — yet. That frozen moment, where the tiger gives no sign of its next move, is pure uneasiness — dread of what may come.
Additional thoughts
The tiger hasn't attacked, which is exactly what makes it worse. It's the uncertain pause — the give of attention without resolution — that breeds anxiety. Picture those glowing eyes in the grass, waiting.Quick recall
