There was no warning, no siren, just a tsunami of movement and an ear-splitting noise. Something crashed against the bars, ripping the branch from his fingers and sending him skittering backwards in shock, tripping and falling unceremoniously to the ground.
The noise continued. Noise wasn’t even the word. Joseph had never heard anything like it. It tore at his ears, so loud that his hands flew to his lobes, not only to cover them, but to stop the blood that he felt must be flowing. What sort of place was this? he thought. What on earth was he doing here? Was it a punishment? Because he didn’t deserve this, did he?
The chaos didn’t stop. Whatever was in the cage continued to throw itself against the bars, long hairy arms reaching through, clawing for the boy as he scuttled away on his hands and knees.
It was a monkey, he thought. No, it was bigger than that. Way bigger. Angrier, too. Angry enough to push Mrs F into action, moving towards the bars as Joseph dashed from them. Through gasping breaths Joseph watched her walk slowly closer, arm outstretched, hand open and flat, but head lowered, never once making eye contact with the monster inside.
What was she doing? Had she not seen what was in the cage, the way it was behaving? It’d rip her apart. She was mad.

Mrs F, though, appeared to be completely in control. As she neared the cage, her pace slowed further and she started to talk. Well, make noises really. A succession of grunts, low and guttural, while the arm that wasn’t outstretched snaked into her pocket. She reached the bars, a matter of inches from where the animal still rocked, agitated, and let herself slide down them until she was in a crouching position, a mirror image of the animal inside the cage. Slowly, with her head still down, she took a carrot from her pocket, and pretended to eat it. The animal watched her, its movements slightly blunted.
She pretended to take another bite, and a third: then, almost in slow motion, she allowed her arm to reach through the bars, the beast’s hand brushing hers as he took the carrot from her grasp.
And then? Nothing. The animal tucked into it, while scratching at something on his belly. A flea probably, Joseph thought, as he watched Mrs F mimic him, her own hand rubbing at her stomach. The carrot lasted seconds, and before he’d even finished his final mouthful, the creature turned and stalked into the shadows. Mrs F stood too, shaking the stiffness from her knees.
“Don’t worry. Adonis takes some getting to know. You’ll be cleaning his cage out in no time.”
“You go in there? When he’s actually in there too?”
“Of course. I can hardly send him out for ice cream, can I? Sometimes I wait till he’s asleep, sometimes not. It’s all about trust.”

The word ‘warning’ suggests that Adonis is so dangerous that people need to be alerted. The word ‘siren’ implies that Adonis can cause as much damage as a fire or bombs during an air raid. ‘A tsunami of movement’ compares Adonis to a powerful and destructive wave highlighting how overwhelming and dangerous he is.
