Adama lives in a time long before recorded history, when the small population of human beings exist at one with nature. Intelligent, they still retain something of the wild animal. The climate is tropical summer, punctuated by a short rainy season that isn’t only a time of constant heavy rain, but also when the Grim appear. These creatures are the reason humans build burrows, to hibernate in during the rainy season. But the Grim have begun to detect these underground burrows and root out their inhabitants. When Adama meets Graf, a traveller from the north, they share a quick sexual encounter before Graf continues on his way. However, the rains have come early this year, and with the threat of the Grim, Graf turns back. They share Adama’s burrow, but even securely tucked away, there are dangers. Who, or what, is banging on the entrance to their burrow? Will Adama and Graf survive to explore their burgeoning friendship?

The Burrow

He reached behind and ran two fingers along the crack of his arse, flicking the remnants of the traveller’s seed to the leaf-littered ground.


As naively as a child, he brought the fingers to his nostrils and sniffed, the faintly earthy aroma bringing a smile to his lips. As he inhaled a second time, he subconsciously gave his semi-hard cock a tug, then began walking in the direction of his cave. 2


The following morning, the sky seemed lower. Banks of enormous grey clouds, some as dark as slate, hung heavily in the atmosphere. The humidity had a hint of chilliness to it. The rainy season was announcing its arrival.


There was nothing more for Adama to do. His hibernation burrow was prepared. The macan leaves had been collected and placed inside. The time had arrived to purge and bathe.
