    About this ebook

    Zara was nervous but sat quietly with her father after her fight. She had come close to killing her opponent. She had beaten the woman so hard that she had to be taken to the hospital. Luckily the fans loved that kind of an ending. However, it would make it hard to get Zara opponents if there was any real danger of dying in the ring with her.
    Zara made Brains record an apology for the site.
    “What’s wrong, Zara.”
    “I wasn’t trying to kill her, Dad. I’m just so nervous about traveling so long with.”
    “With one of the farm animals.”
    “That seems so mean.”
    “It is. We are a mean lot.”
    “I fear for Suzanna alone with me out there in the wilderness of Canada.”
    “Canada is not so different from here. And we have our organization all through Canada. You stay in the south of Canada and you’ll be fine.”
    Anthropophagi had been unobtrusively organized for thousands of years, keeping their nature to themselves. Survival demanded it. They were vastly outnumbered. If they were to be identified for what they were, they would be tracked down and slaughtered. Or put in cages and fed criminals with a death sentence. Not many countries that had attempted to leave the Stone Age still had the death sentence.
    Zara had an encrypted app on her smartdevice that would only open with an eye and thumb and voice scan. The secure wheresafriend app used the GPS so that if Zara was too weak to make her own kill because she had been stranded on an island with two other humans that were too old to eat, she could message a known by other Anthropophagi, Anthropophagus, information network. It needed not be an emergency. Some Anthropophagi used it if they were new to a city or on holiday and didn’t feel comfortable hunting in someone else’s backyard before introducing themselves.
    Zara listened to her father explain the whole thing like he had a few times. She had never had to use it. She had never been away from her parents for more than a few days. They always travelled together. Travelling alone was a new experience. She was pretty sure she would rather die than eat Suzanna. The thought still scared her.
    “If you lose your smartdevice, just buy or steal one and call me.”
    “What if I’m trapped on an island with a bear and no phones.”
    “Try to avoid that.”
    “Avoid bears on islands.”
    Zara mimed texting on her imaginary smartdevice.
    “It’s a perfect adventure to have with a best friend. You will have a great time.”
