Read the excerpt from "The Most Dangerous Game,” by Richard Connell.

"So," continued the general, "I asked myself why the hunt no longer fascinated me. You are much younger than I am, Mr. Rainsford, and have not hunted as much, but you perhaps can guess the answer."

"What was it?"

"Simply this: hunting had ceased to be what you call 'a sporting proposition.' It had become too easy. I always got my quarry. Always. There is no greater bore than perfection."

The general lit a fresh cigarette.

"No animal had a chance with me any more. That is no boast; it is a mathematical certainty. The animal had nothing but his legs and his instinct. Instinct is no match for reason. When I thought of this it was a tragic moment for me, I can tell you."

I'll see what you can do against my entire pack, Mr. Rainsford, I believe. I'm heading home right now to rest. Thank you for a really entertaining evening.

Rainsford was aware that he had two options. He could wait right where he was. Death, indeed. He may run away. That merely put off what was to happen.
