The Average Day (Disaster In Progress)

I sit there silently for awhile. Then a quick buzzing noise and an arrow in my shirt. Do I look like game or something? I sit there a few seconds more before a girl pops out from the trees.

"Tell me this was an accident." I tell the girl. She is a lot older then me. A few years probably.

I take the arrow out of my white shirt. Clearly I am nothing like game. She looks a bit frightened and a bit guilty. I know she is sorry otherwise she might as well be game.

My eyes narrow on her a bit more. She isn't well dressed. Most likely in a hurry I guess.

"Nice clothes!" I come out and say truthfully. Then I wonder she does have a few years on me........

"Ok so your one of those kind of girls nice to know. And maybe dress more appropriate next time. Seriously shoot me again if you like. Maybe see how good you do with a bow and arrow." I told the lady. I still haven't gotten her name yet. And I also regret what I said. I really am not that kind of person.

"Sorry I am just... overreacting that's all. I do it a lot sorry." I explain with a nice, pleasant voice.

I try to ignore the fact that she is still here. I study the ground reall hard for some tracks or something but the fact that she is there is still quite disturbing.

"Sooooo... you any good with that?" I ask pointing to her bow.

She sucks with a bow. Good with knives. I can do either one.

"Nice to know, thanks." I say as I peer at her as she sits in another branch.

I pull out a loaf of bread from my knapsack. I take a bite then look at the lady. I point to the bread cause my mouth is full. I don't wait for a response and toss her the rest. Not that hungry anyway.

"The rest is for you. By the way what is your name? I ask her ask I stand and get a bit stretched out. I search for my bow on my back and when I find it a rabbit is in plain sight. I point to the rabbit.

"Let's see the knives" I tell her still pointing at the rabbit.

"Nice sword. But could use some work on that bow. I personally think she is horrible. but saying that to her would probably mean death and right now I am just here to hunt.


I climb the tree I was leaning against and position myself on a nice, sturdy branch. I sling my bow over my shoulder and take aim at a nearby bird. Silently the arrow flies. I was able to catch the wing before it flew off.

"I am better with moving targets"

I wonder if that is true. I take aim at the same bird. But this time it has a shiny bow in it's wing and is soaring in the blue sky. Again the arrow flies silently and then a hit. The bird falls from the sky and with a small thump it hits the ground.

I just glare at her in the silent surroundings. Her shirt looks like it was bothering her but she kind of looks pissed. Maybe I should leave. No I need to hunt.

I stop glaring at her and focus on my surroundings. Ignoring her once again. This time I feel like throwing a knife. I forgot the knife though. So once again I go with the bow.


Concentrate I thought to myself. Before I saw a turkey I quickly looked over my shoulder I gave her a sharp look then shot. Not the shot I wanted but it would do.


"Another turkey. I have plenty turkey but you can take or I might just go in sell."

I hop from the tree and take my time walking to the turkey. A big turkey from a distance but getting closer is making it look like a shrimp.

"HEY!! Watch where you are shooting at!" I yell at her. But I calm knowing she can easily kill me.


I get the turkey and sling it over my back. I know I need more meat so I decide to stay.

I go back to the tree and sit. I close my eyes for a second but they quickly flash open. I hear a deep noise close by. I get up and take a look at the lady. maybe she hears it too.

I get the bow ready and walk silently forward not knowing what it is. Then a bear pops from the surrounding brush and I retreat back to the tree.
