BARE HUNTER
-Friday- Even the combination of Paroxetine and Zoloft couldn’t keep the night terrors at bay. I kept hearing rifle rounds, bang, bang, bang, one after the other, and seeing puffs of red mist in the distance: two taller ones and four closer to the ground. I woke up with tears running down my face. My throat was raw from screams in my sleep.

Portals & Paths: The Nine Gems
Chapter 1: STORM The rain fell hard, in drops as large as mango nuts, pelting the deeply soaked woolen robes of five men as they moved with the storm. The hooded figures slithered through the sprouting shoots of rice as quickly as the tempest blew through the ancient wood, their bare feet barely sinking in the paddy’s soft mud.
