A classical big-game safari on a newly discovered planet slowly, uncannily starts to mirror the logic of Lewis Carroll's nonsense poem, until the hunters realize the parallels are no coincidence and the hunt itself ends on a twist worthy of the Snark. A Nebula-nominated novella set in Mike Resnick's Birthright Universe, where safari fiction and cosmic absurdity collide.
