Had the gun fight stopped? Or was it his impaired hearing? He couldn’t hear shooting any more. The sides of the ditch were too high for him to see over.
Recover some strength, find a lower part of the ditch. He started staggering, bouncing from one side of the ditch to the other. A technique he had used many times after heavy nights of drinking.
Ahead, a curved silhouette dropped down into the ditch.
“Francina?” His eyes tried to focus, but couldn’t see anything in the dark. He raised his weapon. It took all his strength.
The figure came towards him.
“Francina?”
“Yes.” A soft female voice.
Connor lowered his weapon.
“I got one!” she yelled.
“Wait, that’s not …”
The butt of her gun smashed firmly into Connor’s face before he could finish the sentence.

Join me on Saturday the 28th of January in 27 Boxes, 4th Avenue, Melville, for a Pop Up market. From 11am till 8pm.
Original South African self-published books will be on sale, with most of the stories set in and around Johannesburg.
In fact, some of the action in Big Day Out is set in Melville’s 4th Avenue. How’s that for synchronicity?
No tigers were harmed while writing this book.

Receive notifications via Instagram, Twitter, Tumblr, GoodReads, or Amazon, where you’ll find the whole mad mercenary romp through the dystopian nightmare that Covid-19 might have become.
