The Hunt
The hunter bursts inside his small worn down house, eager to get out of the frigid weather. The shingles are falling apart faster than they can be repaired, cold air blowing in through every crevice. He tries to light a fire, with the hope of thawing his frozen home. Each gust of wind make that flame more and more impossible to obtain. His game fresh from the hunt, hangs outside waiting to be skinned and cooked. When was the last time he has eaten? He thinks back to the days when his son would join him on their annual hunting trip. Them laughing and reliving old memories of previous hunts. His son’s first perfect shot, in the centre of a moose’s heart.

Numb
Woke up feeling numb, high pitch sound and blurry vision was there for a couple of seconds but it faded away, the place where I was could have been anywhere truly! because I did not recognize it. Where was I? and what was I doing there? Feeling extremely tired I began to get up to take a look around and attempt to make sense of what was going on. Come on! I said to myself, please remember what you did last………..Oh no! then I felt a sudden chill all over my body.

The Warrior Prologue
PROLOGUE “Where are we going?” I asked Emma as she dragged me down a narrow alleyway that leads to a dead end. She didn’t respond to my question and I tugged my wrist out of her hand, causing her to stop dead in her tracks. She turned her head to look at me, her glossed lips glittered beneath the soft glow of a nearby street light but half of her face was concealed in the shadows, unable to read her expression. “Em,” I said in hopes to draw her attention to me instead of her drawing back from reality. “Are you okay?” I asked.
