There are deep divides in the village and the surrounding area. Magic weaves in and out the story, turning the everyday extraordinary as it becomes clear that there’s more than just a warped childhood game being played. Wren’s afraid that will give him power over her, and in the village of Kilshamble, that might well be true. The hunt ends as it usually does, and David claims his prize, a fistful of Wren’s hair. Wren’s fear is palpable as she’s pursued through a dark forest, doing her best to get away, as branches whip her face and the dark trees close in around her. The sick ‘game’ has gone way beyond a childhood joke, and even then, it was a bad joke. She’s the hunted, and a group of bully boys from the village are the hunters, led by the obnoxious David, who’s determined to catch her. Wren Silke doesn’t enjoy the annual wren hunt.
