Prologue
Another shot echoed over the treetops.
The beaters’ calls had grown clearer. A throbbing pulse was thundering against my eardrums, the damp air forcing its way into my lungs so fast and hard that it hurt.
Run, run, don’t fall. I’ll never get up again if I do. Fuck, fuck. Why can’t I get my hands free? Oh, run, run … shhh. Can’t let them hear me. Did they hear me? Is this it? Is this really how my life is going to end?
Branches slapped against my face, drawing streaks of blood, the blood mixing with sweat.
The men’s shouts were all around now. It was at this moment that I was seized by the fear of death.
More shots. A bolt whistled through the chill air so close that sweat poured off me, settling like a compress beneath my clothes.
In a minute or two they’ll catch me. Why won’t my hands behind my back obey? How can the tape be that strong?
Frightened birds suddenly flew from the treetops, wings beating the air. The dancing shadows beyond the dense line of spruces grew clearer. Maybe they were only about a hundred yards away. Everything was more distinct now. The voices. The hunters’ bloodlust.
How would they do it? A single shot, a single arrow, and it would be over? Was that it?
No, no, why would they settle for that? Those bastards
were not that merciful. That wasn’t their way. They had their rifles and their blood-splattered knives. They had shown how efficient their crossbows were.
Where can I hide? Is there any place? Can I make it back? Can I?
I searched the forest floor, looking back and forth. But it was difficult since my eyes were nearly covered over with tape, and my legs continued their stumbling flight.
Now I’ll see for myself how it feels to be in their snares. They won’t make any exceptions for me. ............
