>> Roy Reconstructed
― Cripps Pink (Jody Beth Rosen), Thursday, 23 September 2004 18:04 (twenty years ago)
It's almost a year since Montecore the tiger tried to eat Roy Horn live on stage. Thanks to heroic efforts by surgeons, Roy is still alive, and last week went on German TV to tell his story.
Roy is paralysed on his left side, though his left leg twitches uncontrollably. The skin of the right side of his neck and face (where Montecore bit him) is weirdly, unnaturally smooth, like Kylie's forehead. And his eyes didn't seem to blink once.
Roy claimed he fainted on stage and Montecore tried to drag him to safety - it was just an accident that the tiger bit through his cartoid artery at the same time. "I saw flashing bright lights and my mother,” said Roy. “My beloved animals were lying at her feet... I was not allowed to die just yet, because my wings for being an angel were not quite ready."

I am a cruel, cynical individual.
