The Bridge of Balance

I was walking on the road with three other people. Two girls and another guy. The man was a little older than me and he wore a cowboyish hat. We all carried rifles and pistols. We came to a bridge. It was called the bridge of balance. We crossed it. On the other side was a few buildings that were run down and looked almost abandoned. Most of them had weeds growing around them. There was one store open, it was called "My friends" there were a couple people moving around in the store but I didn't go in. Just past the few buildings was open dessert.

We went straight into the dessert, as it was getting dark. The sun soon set and we traveled further by moonlight. Finally we came across an area that had some sparse dead tree's. Slowly we approached one and the man nodded at me. It was my first time but I knew what to do. I crawled up close to the dead tree and found the whole under it's roots. I knocked the butt of my rifle against the tree in a rhythm. I heard something moving. A small ferocious creature leaped out at me. I grabbed it by the neck while it was still in the air, choking it. I put it on the ground and holding it with my knee I broke it's neck. The man smiled at me and told the women what I had done. He said the rhythmic beating was because "All creatures have a signature vibration. Learning what that vibration is allows you to affect them." We did this to several more trees until we had several dead creatures. Then we tied them up and headed home. The sun was rising as we headed back and one of the girls wanted to race me, so we ran back towards the bridge. From this side the bridge was named equality. When we passed the small pub called "My friends" she told me that they serve the best sandwich around. I told myself i'd go in and get a bite next time I was around there. Then we crossed the bridge and I went home.
