In a Big Country

I hiked onto the top of the next Moutain and looked around and saw what the Scots call big country I yelled down into the Valley "HELLO!" and to my shock and surprise I had a reply "HELLO!" I yelled "WHERE ARE YOU?" the man said "LOOK AHEAD" and there he was over a mile away on the mountain across the valley I laughed and yelled "MEET ME AT THE BOTTOM AY?" man didn't say anything just started heading down as did I

I started hmmm to myself a song that was a hit in the 80's it was call In A Big Country as I hopped down the side of the mountain anyway I unshouldered my rifle just in case my new friend wasn't so friendly or if I saw any of the dead my rifle was a Lee Enfield Jungle Carbine and it was a hell of a rifle smooth bolt action and reliability made me happy

By now I was into the wood at the bottom of the Valley when I saw one of them I was about to shoot when it turned around and it turned out it was the fella I was talking too I immediatly pointed my rifle down and struck a conversation with the man

Well, Hello
Hello again to you
What brings you all the way out here?
Me? I just decided to go for a little walk!
Indeed to that
What brings YOU out here?
Same as you getting away from the city
good idea ain't it?
Very
So what say you and I make camp after all it's going to be dark soon
Good plan les do it

So we made camp I took out my sleeping bag and he took out his and after that we made a fire well he made a fire I was taking out the last of my freeze dried food it was beef stew if I do recall then he said to me
Oy I got me some John Walker Black so to make it fair you supply food I supply booze?
Alright

So I cooked up the food as we passed to bottle back and forth and when the food was finally finished we ate and ate heartily the meal that was for 4 people was eaten by 2 and we were still hungry so we drank some more and then we hit the sack

I woke after he did and that was my mistake when I did awake I awoke to the barrel of my own rifle in my face and then I saw his finger pull and that was the day my freedom ended
