OUTSIDE THE PIT

The prospector claws his shirt off as he staggers downhill to the stream.

PROSPECTOR

Ya measly SKUNK!

He drops the gun at the riverbank and plows into the water. Not deep enough: he does knee-bends and sloshes water against himself to clear the blood so that he may examine his wound. With each bob he moans.

The exposed wound is in his midriff, to one side. He raises that arm and twists to look at the exit wound in his back.

… Went clean through. Didn’t hit nothing important. Just guts! JUST GUTS, YA MEASLY SKUNK!

The shout is directed up the hill. The prospector reverts to moaning as he bobs and slaps water, cleaning the wound.

He staggers out of the stream and goes to his little campsite and pulls some cloth out of a bag, yelling uphill:

Don’t worry, Mr Pocket, I’ll come back!

He rips a length of cloth and we cut on the rip.
