They struck from behind, stealthily creeping up on me where I sat on the dank soil, chest heaving after their latest strike, when I thought I was safe. Terror coursed through me and a primal instinct thrust my battered body forwards, away from the peril, away from the menace, away from the threat of losing everything I had ever known. Stumbling through the murky forest, legs quivering, searing pain alive in my arm, I heard the heavy thud of footsteps steadily gaining on me, ready to tear me from my life and slip me into a hole in the shadows of legality and morality that I would never emerge from, at least not as myself. My chest heaves and burns as I desperately gulp down air. Gravel clanks and rattles all the way down the edge of the chasm I run next to. I remind myself of every reason I have for not giving up, for fighting to live out another day in freedom, but I am broken. I cannot go on any longer. I search for that hidden reservoir of strength inside me to call on, but I find nothing. I lose my unsteady grip on the rocky ground as muscular men dart from the shadows and one scarred hand shoves me towards the edge. A dizzying sense of vertigo envelopes me as I plunge down and down and down.

"Mur'ring!" I yelled. "Wake up! Ra'dok got bit by a coyote." Mur'ring sprung to his feet. "Let me see." He inspected the wound with a bad look on his face. "We have to disinfect it." "Yeah okay, whatever just help him he's bleeding out." Mur'ring let go of Ra'dok's leg and turned to me, "you don't have to be an asshole, you asked me," he said. "Help him!" I yelled. Mur'ring walked to the back of the cell and moved a cement block from the wall. He pulled out a bottle of clear liquid. "I was saving this for a special occasion, but given the situation I guess-" "Will you shut the fuck up and help him?!" Mur'ring poured the liquid on the wound. Ra'dok yelled. A guard smacked the door. "Shut the hell up in there!" Mur'ring wrapped some cloth around the wound and Ra'dok stopped bleeding. He let Ra'dok take a few sips of the liquid, which made him gag but sedated him. After a while we all fell asleep. I know it looks like this story is about Japan but it's not. The Lands of the Rising Sun are referring to the East Coast of the United States of America. Set in a post apocalyptic world. Ma'tuk, Ra'dok and Mur'ring are three slaves that share a cell and work in the mining fields. They discover a secret and set in motion a series of events to jailbreak the slaves. The story is told in two parts. The second part follows a team of bounty hunters that find a valuable man and must nurse him back to health. In order to see a doctor they must embark on a mission to gain access to the doctor. This wonderful adventure is very graphic and explores aspects of the mind in terms of spirituality, the human condition and the fate of man.
