Close Call

Excerpt from Another Close Call at Jebel Shamaal

The fellows have finished exploring the base of the jebel and are making their way back up to their camp on the peak...

Eventually the sun begins to set, and we drift back to the jebel. Billy K. is still a little antsy. By now he is shooting at large boulders that are impossible to miss. Ben and I take the lead and are about forty yards up the slope when K-Man shoots Ben in the back. 

It’s not really a big deal. The range was long, and it didn’t more than sting him, but it ignites a pellet-gun war.
