Of Mice and Men...
Thursday, October 18, 2007

…………………………………………..

The hunter felt the field mice stirring – tiny sounds of skitter and twitch – felt the satisfaction of a good hunt. Yes, this was a good hunt – and a good day to hunt. The hunter had known by the feel of the wind – the roar of the storm – the dark of the clouds.
Wouldn’t be long now. Bit back the urge to howl out down the long low corridors. Bit back the urge to laugh.

……………………………………………

Jayne’s gander was up – woah mercy – don’t wanna mess with a man’s gander – nerve taut and gun steady – fast tracking now down the length of the corridors. Ruttin storage bay – so many little alcoves and run offs – cupboards and store rooms - could be any one of…

Easy now…

For a big man – Jayne Cobb could move real silent with a mind to… There was something lying near the electrical junction box… wait – wait – breathe – just a coat is all… ragged and Reaverish… stinking of sweat and urine and – huh – meat…
Thing musta tagged itself, run into the box and caught shock…
Well, critter, that shock aint nuthin’ to what’s comin’ up on you now – fe fi fo fum I smell the blood of a very bad man with a very big weapon and the powerful itch to use it.

Kicked out with a booted foot – still keeping to the wall – the coat shifted – left a smear – a little less fresh… Jayne span and tracked backwards, behind his gun, in the opposite direction.
