Lucy the Zookeeper

Lucy the Zookeeper

Lucy woke late with the sun beaming through the thin tulle covering her bedroom window. Her friends had helped her celebrate her 25th birthday the night before and she started a little later at the zoo today because she would be one of the last to leave. She didn’t mind this though as Lucy had loved animals her whole life and had wanted to work in a zoo or be a vegetarian since she was 7 years old.

Lucy texted her boyfriend thanking him for the wonderful night and invited him to dinner the next evening. She considered she was truly one of the lucky people in life, a great family, a small group of close friends, the best boyfriend imaginable and her dream job, she almost felt guilty. The one gripe Lucy had in life was her body. She was thin and almost painfully so and 6’2 in height. Her hair was thin and lifeless cut off at her shoulders and her breasts a modest but perky B cup which on her tall skinny frame looked positively tiny, made worse by her large areolas and long nipples. Nevertheless she was quite an attractive girl and with a little more effort put into her appearance she would look quite stunning.

Lucy took a quick shower and grabbed a clean uniform and got ready for work. She was happy to just tie her hair back as it was just going to get squashed under her hat for most of the day anyway. Lucy remembered all of a sudden she was giving her first t our today. She was a little nervous as she was not quite as good with people as she was animals. She had watched and helped her colleagues do the tours many times but had never run one by herself. She knew a lot about the animals and so was not so worried about sounding like she didn’t it was just speaking to a group of people that gave her the creeps. She had always shied away from being centre of attention. As she continued to dress and head of for work she thought about it more and hoped there would be a small group, which would make it easier.

“Morning Sam” she said cheerfully walking past the Elephant enclosure “How are you today Hun?” The Elephant gave a little grunt acknowledging her greeting.

“Hey hey Goliath aren’t you looking handsome today” She said over the fence at the Giraffe enclosure “I shall see you boys later, wish me luck”

It seemed the bigger the animals were the more Lucy adored them, not that she did not like the little animals; she had specifically requested to work in the petting zoo with a lot of the baby animals. When the time came to do her tour she was a little shaken by the crowd. It was the biggest group she had ever seen and for this reason her supervisor (and not her biggest fan) had begrudgingly agreed to accompany her. Lucy would have rather taken the tour alone; she did not like the feeling of people looking over her shoulder as she worked. Besides, Geoff had always been jealous of her relationship with the animals and took every opportunity to show up her knowledge with his years of experience and much more extensive knowledge.

Nevertheless the tour was a major success, Lucy’s talks were flawless and the animals all put on a spectacular display for her as Geoff rolled his eyes in the background. The highlight was when a group of penguins knocked Geoff over as he fed them and he fell in the pool.
