At the same time intrepid and unway are these men. Spurred by futile dreams, they follow a path of mirages, the trailmarks of death lying in the bush. They ignore the terrible centripel force that drags them in; they ignore that they are tracking a dark and terrifying animal that lies hidden in the jungle.
