AN: This is an assignment called 'Minimalist'. You write a story where the first sentence is 10 words long as as you go, the lines get shorter by one word until you finish with one word left. Almost looks like a poem, but it's classified as prose. So, enjoy this short-and I mean REALLY short-story.
Hunter
The feeling of unseen eyes watching me makes me nervous.
Looking around, I only see the silent, unmoving forest.
Standing slowly, I close my eyes, listening closely.
There! In the tree above my camp.
The sound of breathing echoes me.
I grab my defensive gun.
The roar scares me.
I aim up.
Light fades.
Blood.
