He says, and I take that as my cue to look at the target.
"Take the shot, Aurelia. And don't miss; you know what happens when you do." The memory of me in the dark room, starving, aching, scared as I count down the seconds, the memory of my parents the only light I have.
With a heavy sigh, I say a prayer for the poor creature.
So help me God.
And I fire at it, not missing at all, as the once full of life deer falls dead, my bullet hitting it square in its head.
