I ran east, away from the spur, away from my truck.
Because if I'd run for the truck, he'd have known.
He'd have cut me off.
The truck was half a mile down a single trail.
He could have beaten me there or shot me on it.
The trees were dense to the east, and I knew that side of the ridge a little from working a downed tree job out there two summers before.
I heard the rifle come off his shoulder behind me.
I zigzagged.
I do not know if that helps with a hunting rifle.
I think it might not.
I did it anyway.
The first shot cracked off when I was maybe 40 yards out, and I felt it more than I heard it.
A tug at the back of my pant leg above the boot.
Didn't break skin.
The second shot was wide enough that I didn't even hear where it went.
After that the trees thickened and he stopped shooting.
I ran for 10 minutes, maybe 12.
Hard up the side of the ridge, scrambling on hands sometimes, until my chest hurt and my legs would not lift anymore.
I dropped behind a limestone outcrop and I made myself stop breathing through my mouth because mouth breathing is loud and a man who can find his way around woods at dusk can find a mouth breather from a hundred yards out.
I checked myself.
