Will of Man - Part Five Read Online Free PDF Page B

waiting. Part of me wishes they would make a move so I don't have to. But that's alright; I've practiced MY move over and over. And tomorrow I will make it. Tomorrow if all goes to plan, there will be five corpses floating down stream and I will be across the river continuing on my way to find my family.
Dad always said, have a plan A and back it with a plan B. Well I have my plan A, a plan B, and a plan C if needed.
I've watched them as they they've watched me. I count five all together. The big one seems to be the Alpha. I'm expecting to deal with him last. I suspect the others will come for me first. I'll need to coax them in one at a time or least keep them separated enough that I can take each one out quickly and then move on to the next.
From what I know of this type; is that they are the best at working as a team. They will channel me in to where they want me, but I won't allow that. They will try to flank me from the sides, which I hope they try. They will be perfectly synchronized when closing in. But I will bust a crack in their circle of death and I will take them out one-by-one.
They may think they have me trapped in their world, but they will be in mine. The water has been my world since I was little, and I will make them pay for entering it. By getting them to come into the water, I will take away their speed and strength and give myself the advantage I need.
Tomorrow, when I'm ready, they will all die.

For the past year, my dreams at night are of trees, hills, flowing streams, and me scavenging for food. But last night I dreamt of earlier days, back when I was a younger child.
My dream took me back to when I was little. It was my brother Tanner's birthday, which was yesterday - October 4th. We always go to my Grandma Jeanne's where the whole family meets. In my dream, my mom, dad, Tanner, Uncle Rick, cousin Bethany, cousin Jonathan, Grandpa Buck, Grandpa Dick, and Grandma Jeanne are all there.
The theme of the party was pirates (my brother's obsession when he was little). In the dream, everyone's sitting around cheering him on as he ripped into his brightly wrapped presents. Only in the dream I was outside the house looking inside from a window. The night was a cool fall night with a slight wind rustling leaves around the yard and through the trees.
I remember the feeling of not being noticed. It was as if everyone had forgotten me. It was as if I had been dead or missing for a very long time and everyone had accepted my passing and moved on.
I remember knocking on the window, but no one could hear me. After a while I was pounding harder and harder, hoping to be recognized. My mom was sitting quietly next to the window I was pounding on, but didn't notice me.
Every year it's been tradition to decorate the trail in the woods next to my grandma's. Dad, I, and Tanner made it a long time ago for fun one day and it just seemed to grow more and more each year. We also use it for Easter and scavenge for hidden Easter eggs along its path.
Since Tanner's birthday is around Halloween, my dad always brought our Halloween decorations from home and decorated the trail with a Halloween theme. He'd go all out with teekee torches, sound machines that made spooky noises, glowing pumpkins, glow in the dark skeletons, strands of orange lights, and everything else Halloweeny. Then when night came, all us kids would go find candy along the trail while the adults followed. Every glowing pumpkin marked a bowl of candy. Each year Dad would add a little more and eventually it became a really cool sight to see.
Anyways, in the dream, I could see everyone go outside and start walking the trail. Tanner and my cousins took off exploring the trail for candy while the adults followed behind pointing out all the spooky decorations. Normally I would be right there with them running along the decorated trail.
