Not So Easy Africa

By Eyad Yehyawi

The sun was high in the sky when Marius placed his hand on my shoulder and whispered, “Slowly grab your bow.”

The windows of the blind limited my visibility, and my heart rate peaked as I wondered what African prize was approaching. All I could see were Marius’ eyes looking hard to our left. I followed the professional hunter’s gaze, and then I saw them: two gorgeous springbok, South Africa’s national animal.
