Loners

Being a loner was a way Zak protected himself. He had chosen this life by necessity. Zak didn’t believe in miracles. He didn’t even believe in luck, just himself, his Bowie knife and a revolver. He trusted no one, so no one disappointed him or let him down. He moved quickly, stealthy like a cat, blending in and hiding from those who were tracking him and trying to do him harm. He kept his emotions bottled up inside; his heart cold. He rode the wind and touched the sky. Then Zak met another one like him – Elly. Unexpectedly, the two wanted to be loners together.
