    About this ebook

    When Ryan's car breaks down late at night in the middle of nowhere, he is picked up by a tow truck driver. Instead of taking him to the nearest town at the late hour, Ted drives Ryan back to his isolated property to spend the night. When morning dawns the plans for Ryan change. Instead of taking him to a mechanic, Ted and his sidekick, Bryce, drive Ryan deeper into the forest where they set him loose and announce that they are going to hunt him down like an animal. Armed with only a hunting knife while the men have guns, a game of cat and mouse and survival ensues. Can Ryan outwit the hunters on their home soil? And will he ever escape the wilderness alive? This is a short story of approximately 14,300 words.
