Zach Sklar's Dream

A man and a woman are living in a jungle. The man has lived there all his life but the woman is new so she's scared. The jungle is full of snapping turtles and they are hunting some. The man knows how to hunt them and he kills a huge one. They drag it home and leave it on a wooden table in a clearing overnight. He says to the woman Tomorrow you will clean it and cook it in a soup. This will accustom her to turtles and make her less afraid. The next morning they wake up. But when they go into the clearing the turtle is gone and there's a trail of blood leading into the jungle. The woman panics with terror but the man is no longer concerned with that: he grabs his weapons and follows the blood into the forest.
