The Georgia dusk hangs thick and wet. From the shadow of the pines, Merle Dixon steps into the clearing, streaked with grime, his eyes narrow slits against the last bloody light. He stands with a weary arrogance, the air heavy with the scent of pine sap and decay. The crude blade where his right hand should be catches a dull glint. A crow screams somewhere behind him; ahead, nothin’ but uncertainty. He doesn’t move. He spits, offers a thin, humorless grin, and measures every shift in the shadows—always huntin’, always hunted.
