The hunt is over now



   Running through the tall grass. Wind is blowing through my hair.My long hair flowing in the wind. Knife in hand. I am ready. He will not touch me. No more!I will not be another one,I will not be next. I refuse. I run. I don’t stop,I don’t look. I push my legs to run as fast as I can. I hear him behind me,he is getting closer. I am sweating.Heart leaping out of my chest. Hard to breathe,hard to run,need to stop but can’t. He is closer,and closer and closer until he is right behind me. I am dead. Down. Knocked out. Alive? He raises his hand,the blade shines moonlight on me. Silver.It is over. It is done. With a single strike,the blood splattered in front of him. The job is done. Another successful night. It was a close one but nobody gets away from him. The night continues. The hunt goes on.
   Another night. Tall grass. Sweat,tears,blood. The straw hat moves in the moonlight. Now,falling off the head of the yet another victim of the hunt,down to the cold earth where the body will follow. The ruthless calculated beast has struck once more. The hunt continues,the pursuit goes on and once more he is victorious. The knife has done it’s job. It’s time to rest the blade.


   New night. Once more,it’s dark. The darkness breeds the evil lurking.The grass hides the sin. The murders continue. The assailant strikes again. The victim falls but this time,this time,it’s different. He is seen,exposed and uncovered. She knows. She saw.She will bring the beast down. He leaps,rushes and plunges. He will end her.
Not today. She got away. It is done. It is over. No more. The hunt will come to an end and all will be revealed. The hunter brought to justice and burned for his sins atop a high mountain before the world for all to see his ugliness. Unless,unless the hunter will finish the hunt with the last brush stroke of his blade. A glorious painting,a masterpiece to end it all. To hunt a hunter,to hunt one self. Never to be caught and to catch the ultimate beast,oneself. With a single simple stroke, he falls. Hard body touches the cold earth under the stars. It is done.The hunt is over now.
