The exercise:

Today's prompt is inspired by a story that Dark recently posted on Protagonize. I'm quite excited about the whole thing and hope that I'll be able to join the fun. If not I'll still enjoy following its progress, I'm sure.

Anyway, the prompt: hunting humans.

Mine:

She walks the streets,
Night after night,
Looking for a face
Shaped just right
So that she may
End a life.

And while she hunts,
Others hunt her;
But not by choice -
They're no monsters -
Just normal folk
Whose lives were upturned.

The winner of this game
Wins their chosen prize.
But as they play
With madness in their eyes,
Do any of them see
That all ten souls will die?
