The White Man’s Burden

Trofee by Gaea Schoeters

April 4, 2024 by Zirza Leave a Comment

Hunter White has one passion in life: hunting. And he’s about to achieve the pinnacle of his favourite hobby: he has purchased a license to shoot a rhinoceros, thereby completing the Big Five, something he has dreamed of since his grandfather took him hunting as a young boy. He considers himself a skilled hunter, someone who respects the craft. No cheesy poses on top of a lion for him, no semi-automatic weapons, no faff. Just him, and the animal.

No man here lives a charmed life.

September 8, 2016 by ingres77 2 Comments

Okay, I’m probably operating on far too little sleep to write a coherent review, but here goes. The prose here is a luminous dream, casting it’s shadows upon the mind and lulling the reader into a warm and tranquil languidity.

This story has […]
