Gundogs
Gundogs is a short story set on clear November evening.
As the last few rays of light fade from a twilight sky, a gamekeeper, accompanied by his faithful gundogs, travel through the darkening forest on their way home.
Something lurks within the shelter of the pine trees. Watching... and waiting.
Unaware of what the darkness conceals, the gamekeeper will come face to face with the forest’s unimaginable secret.
What lies in wait within the gloom, emanating its irrational fear over those who encounter it?
Will the gamekeeper become a victim of this new-found terror, or will he escape the forest - and his fate - unscathed?

About the author
Steven De Luca
3 books23 followersI live near Edinburgh, Scotland. Some of my favourite authors are Anne McCaffrey, David Gemmell, Raymond Feist, Philp K Dick and Brandon Sanderson. Too many to list! I've loved writing and self publishing my novel, "Bound in Scales" and learned so much from the process.
From an early age I was an avid reader and always believed I had a story to tell. I mentioned this to my friend, Chris... probably a lot. One day he said to me, "You keep telling me you have a book in you, why don't you just write it?" I accepted his 'challenge' and wrote a novel. A big novel. over 200k words. I looked at it as a practice run and I plan to revisit it. It needs some TLC and a lot of editing. However, I found I had a passion for writing and from the ashes of my previous work, rose the phoenix of my new story. I hope you like it.
