Breathing hard, I stopped, searching into the shadows. A campfire blazed off in the distance. Pulling my bow from my back, I notch an arrow in it. Stalking forward, I move until the faint silhouettes of the camp’s inhabitants come into sight. Three people lay near the fire, while a fourth stood guard.

“Hell no. You are not allowed to set me on fire,” I stated, glaring at her. She stood, the smile for once not in it’s prominent place now replaced by a deathly glare. She banged twice on the metal door and walked out without a single word.
