Hunter
Photo prompt © Lisa Fox
“Do you see
that man over there?”
“Where?
Which man?”
“There…. On that
red building…. You see that signboard.”
“What of
him?”
“He has a gun.
He is a hunter?”
“Don’t be
silly, he has no gun. He seems perfectly harmless.”
“No, you
don’t understand. Jinxy had told me. He knows everything. That man must be a
hunter.”
“And what
would he be hunting here?”
“Sky-dragons.”
“Jinxy would
have told you about sky-dragons?”
“Yes, he
knows everything.”
They heard a
gunshot. The little boy screamed.
Father patted
him lightly and pointed to a screeching car. It had a tyre burst.
