The hunter

He slung the gun bag over his shoulder, checking both directions before heading to the vehicle. He licked the sweat from his upper lip and wished he had chosen a thinner shirt under his wax jacket.

The churning in his stomach was back. He always got it, right before the hunt, and it always left him the moment he was face-to-face with his victim. Then, calm would descend, a seductive, comforting wave of it. Perhaps it was the feeling of control after the edgy period of searching was over. He had heard that most killers felt peace after the murder. For him, it was always right before.

He wiped his palms on the thighs of his jeans before opening the door and throwing the bag in the passenger footwell, out of sight.

Hafren Forest was today’s hunting ground. He would pick a spot with only one vehicle and no CCTV.

A flat cap pulled over his eyes would aid anonymity, in case he ran into a would-be witness.

But what if nobody came? What if the horror of his previous crimes stopped anyone venturing out, even after the long-awaited freedom from COVID restrictions? There were plenty of times when he had gone away empty-handed. No walkers, no kill. He couldn’t sleep after trips like that, and would be on edge for days, even weeks. He would be hot, sweaty, cold, limp, and listless.

He couldn’t let that happen. Not today.
