A wet thud.
Mike Eiser saw Charlie Bozeman’s head dissolve into a spray of blood and brains. A tenth of a second later, Eiser’s brain registered the sound of the shot; two-tenths of a second later, Eiser’s nose was flat on the bottom of the gully he was in belly crawling frantically for a culvert fifty feet in front of him.

The broken spider webs screamed out his location to anyone who cared to look. Right then, no one was looking.
