The devil-like creature searches the night alone.
Unseen, uncared for.
After returning from hunting, he feels a sharp pain in his cheek.
Although the Tassie Devil cries, he was not as sad as he had expected to be.
He knew that the time would come eventually.
He had lived a good life.
He knows his time is almost up.
He watches the last sunrise he will ever see.
He makes a wish.
He wishes that one day soon there will be a cure for the horrible Facial Tumour disease that is killing his species.
Under a colourful sky an animal dies alone.
The Tasmanian Tiger is already gone.
Don’t let the Tassie Devil have the same fate.
