This short story invites the reader into a tale of a bounty hunter in a world where lurking shades will consume you if you start a fire, run, or draw blood. These restrictions pose a significant challenge for our hero, a brave woman who turns to bounty hunting to provide for her family. A well told story in an interesting setting, but left me wishing it weren't a short story. This is probably because the short story medium still doesn't resonate with me as well as longer form stories, but I think this story really deserved to be longer in a way that some don't. I would like a whole trilogy in this setting please.
