A Tale of Three Lions Excerpt
Short Summary: Allan Quatermain recounts a suspenseful night deep in the African bush, where he and a young companion must hold off a trio of deadly lions with nothing but courage and a rifle.
"The silence of the veldt was broken only by the crackle of the fire. I checked the chamber again—three rounds left. The boy beside me shivered not from cold but from terror."
"Then came the sound—soft, steady, padded. My hand gripped the barrel. A flash of yellow eyes in the dark. The first lion."
"The gun roared, and something screamed. But we were not yet safe. There were two more. The night was far from over."
In that tiny chamber of earth and dust, courage was not a choice—it was the only weapon we had left.
