      The Broken Arrow - Justin L. Smith

      Chapter One: Hunter and the Hunted

      BANG! See. How the animal collapsed. That was a clean kill. That’s what we want. If it’s not clean, the adrenaline will ruin the meat. Anya Petrov is teaching her daughter to snipe today in Bryansk Oblost, USSR. The same way she learned on her family farm; hunting wild boars. Anya goes by Volchitsa within the ranks of Shepot.

She coaches her daughter Radost who is not even 10 yet. As you run, stop quickly. Try to feel the wind in your hair. We use this as a gauge to adjust our fire.
