The Marking

by Kate Tompkins

What if there were a world where the prehistoric cave paintings in the south of France really had power?

It's the hungry season, before the great herds come back. A true dream of a reindeer leads Cren to his first kill, the rite of manhood. Sure that his destiny of being a hunter is being fulfilled, he heads back to camp. But what if that's not what the dream was for?

About the author

When not fulfilling her primary role of providing a warm lap for the cat, Kate writes short stories and poetry. While she lives in the city, she's a country girl at heart, so it forms the background of much of her work.
