Quinn thinks back to the night when his parents
died. He was a young boy. No more than five years old. Quinn was asleep in the
corner of the tent. He remembers waking up, and seeing two hooded figures
staring through the tent aperture. Quinn froze with fear. His parents lay fast asleep in middle of the tent next to the fire. The flames from the fire lit up the two
intruders. One figure was much taller than the other. They stepped into the
tent, and pulled back their hoods, then made their way towards Quinn’s parents.
The taller man’s shaven head glinted in the firelight. Quinn watched,
unnoticed.
Long shadows hit the back of the tent as the figures approached. They moved in complete silence as they walked towards their prey. Both crouched down as they reached their targets. Quinn tried to avert his eyes, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't look away. The two figures lowered their heads and started to feed.
