Kit Thompson, Big Game Hunter

Rhetorically, with prolepsis, a narrator discusses a future event as if it has already occurred. After we spent the first weekend in March at Hilton Head and made our habitual visit to the petting zoo at Lawton Stables, David and I became convinced that one day when Kit is a big game hunter we will look back at that weekend as the origin of her deer antipathy, the reason for her deep-seated love of veal. Kit was attacked by a baby deer--yep, she was knocked down by Bambi. And so one day, when Kit has her own TV show and movie, when she has travelled down under, a modern day Crocodile Dundee, when she has wrestled with grizzlies and has faced off with tigers, we will know it was because of that day.
