 the thing.

Katya realized that the closer the thing got, the better his shot would be. It was a grotesque sight. The huge creature was in a state of frenzied rage, desperate to reach them. Katya waited with his finger on the trigger. I am not afraid of you.

The thing reached the shore a dozen feet away from where Katya stood. A putrid smell enveloped Katya. The thing leapt for him and Katya fired the last bullet.

The head of the creature shattered into bones and pieces of brains. It fell motionless at Katya's feet, its blood enveloping his shoes. Katya staggered back and sat on the ground slowly. All his strength had left him. He stared at the horrifying sight of the dead man eater lying in front of him.

Atuqtuaq sat down next to him and put his arm around Katya's shoulders. Katya was surprised. His father was not an openly affectionate man.

His father stared at the motionless creature. 'You'll make a good leader, Katya,' he said. 'I know that when death comes for me, I can go with a smile.'

Atuqtuaq dropped the man eater's half-destroyed head in the middle of the camp. 'Finally, they have started coming,' he said loudly. 'We have to be vigilant.'

Everyone gathered around the grisly sight. There were hushed whispers and softly muttered prayers. But Atuqtuaq knew that an enemy that could be seen, no matter how terrifying, had far less power over the mind than the unknown monster of the imagination.

'Did you... did you kill it?' asked Rob hoarsely, unable to take his eyes off the man eater's head.

Atuqtuaq shook his head. 'No, Katya did.'

Everyone looked at Katya, impressed.

'The body is lying near the shore,' said Atuqtuaq. 'Everyone should see it before we leave, even the children. Know what you are fighting against. These are large, strong creatures but they can be killed!'

Katya walked away from the crowd. He walked to the edge of the camp and looked at the distant snowcapped mountains. He wanted to get away from all the people and just think. Something had changed in him after shooting the man
the thing. 

 Katya realized that the closer the thing get, the well his shot would be. It was a grotesque sight. The huge animal was in a state of frenzied rage, despairing to pass them. Katya waited with his finger on the trigger. I am not afraid of you. 

 The thing reached the shore a twelve feet away from where Katya stood. A putrid smell envelop Katya. The thing leapt for him and Katya fire the last bullet. 

 The point of the creature shattered into bones and musical composition of brains. It fell motionless at Katya's feet, its blood envelop his shoes. Katya stagger back and sat on the ground slowly. All his lastingness had left him. He stared at the horrifying sight of the dead man eater lying in front of him. 

 Atuqtuaq sat down next to him and put his arm around Katya's shoulders. Katya was surprised. His father was not an openly affectionate man. 

 His father stared at the motionless animal.' You'll reach a good drawing card, Katya,' he say.' I sleep together that when death comes for me, I can function with a smile.' 

 Atuqtuaq dropped the man eater's half - destroyed head in the center of the camp.' Finally, they have started coming,' he said loudly.' We have to be vigilant.' 

 Everyone gathered around the grisly sight. There were hush whisper and softly muttered prayers. But Atuqtuaq knew that an enemy that could be watch, no matter how terrifying, had far less power over the judgment than the unknown monster of the imagination. 

' Did you... did you kill it?' ask Rob hoarsely, unable to consume his eyes off the serviceman eater's head. 

 Atuqtuaq shake his head.' No, Katya do.' 

 Everyone looked at Katya, impressed. 

' The soundbox is lying near the shore,' said Atuqtuaq.' Everyone should experience it before we leave, even the child. Know what you are fighting against. These are large, strong creatures but they can be killed!' 

 Katya walked away from the crowd. He walked to the boundary of the camp and looked at the aloof snowcapped mountains. He wanted to get off from all the people and just think. Something had changed in him after shooting the man
