There is one person I’d especially like to thank, because I owe him so much.

CRACK! Not close lightning nor distant thunder; Paul ducked behind the maple tree. He flattened against the textured roughness of its bark, burrowed into its shadowed obscurity as the reverberations died away. His chest heaved. His pulse sprinted. Paul was on an adrenaline high. He had often reveled in this heightened sensation when hunting, but this was his first time feeling it from the quarry's terrified perspective. It was far less enjoyable.
