If he came past, he wouldn't see me even with a light, unless he came right to the lip and aimed straight down.
I almost did it.
I almost climbed down.
But I thought about the climb back up in the dark with one bruised arm.
And I thought about being trapped down there if he found me.
And I thought about how nobody knew where I was.
The district office wouldn't even start to wonder until tomorrow morning when I didn't show up.
By then he'd have had all night.
I needed him gone, not me hidden.
I sat at the lip of the sinkhole and I thought for a long time.
Then I broke a branch off a dead sapling.
About three feet long, dry, light.
I worked the end of it loose so the wood would snap easy under weight.
I crawled back maybe ten feet from the lip and I scraped some leaves around so the ground looked walked over.
I made a track.
A bad one, the way somebody panicking and tired makes a track.
I dragged the heel of my boot to make it look the way a slip looks.
Then I worked my way around the sinkhole to the far side, the north side, where the lip was steeper and there were no trees right at the edge, and I climbed up behind a deadfall about 20 feet back and I waited.
I had to assume he was still hunting.
I had to assume he'd find my trail.
