Hi, this story is a very little story. And I'm no friend of horror, but I wanted to write this idea. The story includes no supernatural stuff, no fabulous creatures or fantasy figures. All animal species exist like in our world and I will give more explanations through the story. It's a mixture of crime and horror. I hope I don't scary you with that. If you can't read scenes with blood don't read it. I tried to reduce the violence as well as I could. Well then, here we go.
1. Lie in waiting
The sun disappeared behind the hills of the Mojave Desert. It seemed to become a night like all the others.
But many animals didn't sleep. There were on the hunt, or were just walking around, like now.
An old rodent of middle age went between the flat rocks and was busy to count the money.
He chuckled. "The gamble paid off."
Grinning, he closed the bag. "I love my job."
He stopped when he reached an old wooden signpost:
"Dirt (Mud) – This way."
The rodent lifted his head. "Oh, Dirt. There lives an old friend of mine. Maybe it would be not a bad idea to pay him a little visit."
With these thoughts he turned to the right and didn't realize the two waylaying eyes, which watched him a few meters away. In this second, his fate was sealed, that he would never reach the town.
