Chapter-2: Dream a Little More

     The rumble grew louder and the ground trembled.

     Altogether, from the dark woods, there emerged a rushing multitude of creatures: possums, raccoons, squirrels, prairie dogs, wolves, jack rabbits, mule dears and even two mountain lions.

     The men fired a few rounds into the stampede. It didn’t matter. The animals ignored them.

     Aquel noticed and whistled for a cease fire. He raised his pistols into the air and moved them from side to side.

     Several mule dears glided over the battered woman. Two wolves jumped off her naked scratched-up back; and one small turtle rubbed against her sweaty thigh as it hobbled by, thrusting and reaching with quivering head jerks. 

     “Look at them, pendejos, look,” said Aquel, “they don’t give three shits about us. Save your rounds, hombres.”

     “Stay alert, stay alert,” said Este, “they not interested in us; but theys running for a reason. Caracoles from hell … all of them running together like that in one group; it’s got to be real bad.”

     “Chinga su hermana, whatever it is,” said Elotro, “it has to be pinche vicious. None of them are attacking one another.”

     The three men nodded in agreement and continued their search of the woods, looking from side to side and all around. They waited and waited, expecting the vicious bad thing to appear at any moment. And, they kept their pistols up, eager to kill it and make the unknown shadows go away.
