Beneath The Burning Silence
Behind the brush, a woman lay trapped, her leg mangled in the bear trap I'd set.
She was beautiful in that raw, wild way—blonde curls tangled across her face, black turtleneck stained with sweat and blood. Her eyes, though—sharp, almost defiant beneath the pain.
"Please," she whispered. "Help me."
I ran. Grabbed the key. Unlocked the trap with shaking hands. She gasped, clutching her leg.
"What the hell was that doing out here?" she said, half-laughing through the pain.
"Well, you see…nowhere is really safe these days" I replied, slipping an arm around her waist. "You have to protect yourself somehow."
