Chapter 1

S nag awoke slowly, rose up slightly from his bed of dried grass, and looked around the cave that had recently become his home. His bed was situated on a shelf overhanging one wall of a very large cave room. He knew it was time to get up as from his bed he could see the glow of light from the cave entrance; also, his stomach growled from hunger fueled by the aroma from meat cooking over a small fire. Drippings from the meat fell on red coals, and each puff of steam produced a mouthwatering aroma of cooking venison. The meat had been propped up over the fire all night and was ready for breakfast.

Snag tried to stand but sank back down as he was struck by a jolt of pain from a wound on his right thigh. The wound had been received the previous night when, in a battle with the ape people, he had been struck with a stone ax. A dried-out deerskin bandage covered the wound. He sat and slowly unwound it from his leg. The weapon that had wounded him was crudely made; so the cut, although not deep, was ugly and jagged. He poured water from a gourd onto his hand and cleaned the dried blood from his leg. He cleaned the torn flesh and skin from the wound with a stone knife. Sweat ran down his face from the pain as he held the wound close and used two splinters, cut from his firewood, to fasten it close. He soaked the piece of skin and rewound it over the wound. After resting for a few minutes, he used his knife to cut a generous slice from the cooking venison and devoured it with relish.

After eating, Snag sat and pondered his future but first considered his immediate past. Before the fight in which he was wounded, he had been the head hunter in a family of the modern people. The tribe consisted of seventeen family members; Snag was the oldest of four brothers with one sister and various aunts, uncles, and cousins. His sister was the lead woman of the tribe as his mother had been killed by a big cat a few months earlier. His father was the chief of the tribe. They lived in a small valley near a rapidly running stream and slept under skin shelters or in a small hut that they built for the females of the tribe. Just as day was starting to break and the tip of the sun was rising above the horizon,
