===The Breathing Jungle===

'''Abstract'''

In the wake of several ferocious attacks on a village in the French colony of Cochinchina, a local Lazarus Trust agent joined a ritual tiger-hunting expedition with the twin goals of stopping the attacks and appeasing the local forest gods who, it is assumed, the people had angered to deserve such punishment.  The hunt takes place only in special native costume, designed to mimic the appearance of the tiger while simultaneously providing increased protection from its claws and teeth.  The hunters are also without the benefit of firearms and must rely only on hand-held spears.  The story covers the ritual before the hunt and the strange visions it engendered, as well as the hunt itself and its celebratory aftermath.
