(05/23 14:22:34) Douglas Sharper: I don't want to be here.
(05/23 14:23:00) Douglas Sharper: But I must tell the story.

(05/23 14:23:19) Douglas Sharper: I only hope it helps.
(05/23 14:23:33) Douglas Sharper: Somehow. I don't know how.
(05/23 14:23:49) Douglas Sharper: I should not be alive right now.

(05/23 14:24:47) Douglas Sharper: god.
(05/23 14:25:20) Douglas Sharper: I should not be here.
(05/23 14:25:46) Douglas Sharper: As you know, I had built a blind.
(05/23 14:26:14) Douglas Sharper: It was ideal for looking at the creature. The Urwin.
(05/23 21:26:45) Douglas Sharper: She didn't show for the first night.
(05/23 21:26:58) Douglas Sharper: She came back the second night.
(05/23 21:27:16) Douglas Sharper: Acting strange. Tension was in the air.
(05/23 21:27:34) Douglas Sharper: I have felt it before. I recognized it.
(05/23 21:28:02) Douglas Sharper: Something watching.
(05/23 21:28:07) Douglas Sharper: She could feel it too.
(05/23 21:28:18) Douglas Sharper: She was nervous.
(05/23 21:28:44) Douglas Sharper: Eventually fell asleep.
(05/23 21:28:55) Douglas Sharper: She did. I was in and out. Sleep, awake.
(05/23 21:29:14) Douglas Sharper: She slept soundly all night.
(05/23 21:29:36) Douglas Sharper: Morning came and it was gone.
(05/23 21:29:51) Douglas Sharper: Like morning does everyting felt fine.
(05/23 21:30:18) Douglas Sharper: The tension had vanished. She was eating.
(05/23 21:30:24) Douglas Sharper: Smelling.
(05/23 21:30:51) Douglas Sharper: Relaxed.
(05/23 21:31:14) Douglas Sharper: I was caught off guard when it hit.
(05/23 21:31:26) Douglas Sharper: So was she.
(05/23 21:31:45) Douglas Sharper: I have never seen anything move like that.
(05/23 21:31:58) Douglas Sharper: My god. I've seen fast predators.
(05/23 21:32:35) Douglas Sharper: It was like an explosion.
(05/23 21:33:05) Douglas Sharper: She was dead in an instant.
(05/23 21:33:51) Douglas Sharper: The Bahro stood there looking at her.
(05/23 21:34:20) Douglas Sharper: In a flash it was draggin her head.
(05/23 21:34:30) Douglas Sharper: Quiet!
(05/23 21:34:51) Douglas Sharper: I'm not done.
(05/23 21:35:05) Douglas Sharper: Far from it.
(05/23 21:35:27) Douglas Sharper: It left with her head. I waited. It was different than the other kills.
(05/23 21:36:02) Douglas Sharper: The body was intact.
(05/23 21:36:38) Douglas Sharper: The head was what we had seen.
(05/23 21:36:49) Douglas Sharper: Shredded.
(05/23 21:37:22) Douglas Sharper: An easy trail. Blood on grass.
(05/23 21:37:32) Douglas Sharper: I waited for a while.
(05/23 21:37:54) Douglas Sharper: And started following it.
(05/23 21:38:17) Douglas Sharper: Sent Nick a message. You all heard it.
(05/23 21:38:29) Douglas Sharper: The hunter was the hunted.
(05/23 21:38:54) Douglas Sharper: I followed it for a few hours.
(05/23 21:39:05) Douglas Sharper: Staying far back. But close enough.
(05/23 21:39:25) Douglas Sharper: Miles.
(05/23 21:39:55) Douglas Sharper: Eventually I saw the head, what was left of it, in the distance.
(05/23 21:40:29) Douglas Sharper: Sitting there.
(05/23 21:41:04) Douglas Sharper: No Bahro.
(05/23 21:41:18) Douglas Sharper: I picked a good spot and waited.
(05/23 21:41:30) Douglas Sharper: I don't know how long.
(05/23 21:41:35) Douglas Sharper: Hours.
(05/23 21:41:57) Douglas Sharper: My gut told me to leave. But I didn't.
(05/23 21:42:13) Douglas Sharper: The tension was back. It was silent.
(05/23 21:42:37) Douglas Sharper: But I wanted to see the head. Pictures.
(05/23 21:42:54) Douglas Sharper: I waited.
(05/23 21:43:19) Douglas Sharper: I felt sick.
(05/23 21:43:58) Douglas Sharper: Look at my watch. Five til Seven. I knew it was a trap.
(05/23 21:44:11) Douglas Sharper: I knew I had to get out of there.
(05/23 21:44:28) Douglas Sharper: Get back to the blind.
(05/23 21:44:48) Douglas Sharper: I stood up and saw them.
(05/23 21:45:15) Douglas Sharper: At least thrity. Maybe dozens.
(05/23 21:45:35) Douglas Sharper: I don't know how long they had been sitting there.
(05/23 21:45:51) Douglas Sharper: Toying with me.
(05/23 21:45:54) Douglas Sharper: Probably the whole time.
(05/23 21:46:21) Douglas Sharper: Watching me, watching the head.
(05/23 21:46:36) Douglas Sharper: I didn't try to run.
(05/23 21:47:17) Douglas Sharper: I had seen what one Bahro could do. Thirty was no hope.
(05/23 21:47:36) Douglas Sharper: I knew I couldn't even get to my Relto.
(05/23 21:48:09) Douglas Sharper: I remembered the scenes I had seen.
(05/23 21:48:31) Douglas Sharper: I prepared to die. A grisly death.
(05/23 21:48:52) Douglas Sharper: I remember a scream.
(05/23 21:49:06) Douglas Sharper: Loud. Piercing.
(05/23 21:49:19) Douglas Sharper: I figured they were charging.
(05/23 21:50:07) Douglas Sharper: But there was another Bahro behind them.
(05/23 21:51:00) Douglas Sharper: I'm sure it was only an instant.
(05/23 21:51:12) Douglas Sharper: But I remember details.
(05/23 21:51:29) Douglas Sharper: Chaos.
(05/23 21:51:39) Douglas Sharper: Bahro everywhere.
(05/23 21:52:04) Douglas Sharper: In the skies, on the ground, in the trees...
(05/23 21:52:32) Douglas Sharper: I know now it was a war.
(05/23 21:53:11) Douglas Sharper: They were vanishing appearing slashing
(05/23 21:53:33) Douglas Sharper: Battle. All over.
(05/23 21:54:10) Douglas Sharper: I can see it now.
(05/23 21:54:33) Douglas Sharper: It was raging all around me.
(05/23 21:54:48) Douglas Sharper: I thought I had a moment to get to my Relto.
(05/23 21:55:05) Douglas Sharper: I was wrong.
(05/23 21:55:25) Douglas Sharper: they are so fast. Deadly.
(05/23 21:55:36) Douglas Sharper: When they want to be.
(05/23 21:56:05) Douglas Sharper: Two were coming for me. Before I linked.
(05/23 21:56:39) Douglas Sharper: Two more appeared from the sky.
(05/23 21:56:52) Douglas Sharper: Fell on top of me.
(05/23 21:57:06) Douglas Sharper: Saved my life.
(05/23 21:57:23) Douglas Sharper: It was black but I could hear them.
(05/23 21:57:33) Douglas Sharper: Until it was silent.
(05/23 21:57:54) Douglas Sharper: I don't know how much time had passed.
(05/23 21:58:34) Douglas Sharper: I came to in Relto. The violence was behind me.
(05/23 21:59:21) Douglas Sharper: I am shaken. I have heard about Wheely.
(05/23 22:00:01) Douglas Sharper: I don't know what else to say.
(05/23 22:00:13) Douglas Sharper: I am
(05/23 22:00:27) Douglas Sharper: I don't know.
(05/23 22:00:44) Douglas Sharper: I am happy to be alive.
(05/23 22:01:10) Douglas Sharper: I am broken at the news here.
