The Poacher
In the long grass, Isack held his breath.
The men wore green and brown to camouflage themselves. They moved slowly around the tree and the cable trap, shifting the blades of grass to the side and checking for snakes on the ground. A bite from a black mamba would kill a man in half an hour.

About Litro
We find new ways of looking at the world through stories, seeking out the compelling and the controversial, the funny and the fantastic, the sad and the strange.
Although we also publish literary nonfiction and poetry, we have traditionally focused on short fiction, armed with a mission to discover new and emerging writers, giving them a platform to be read alongside stalwarts of the literary scene. More recently, we have also added more strings to our bow: including interviews, columns, reviews and features on literature, arts and culture. We've even ventured into podcasting with Litro Lab, so you can hear directly from your favourite writers.
Of course, any good conversation runs, by its nature, two ways (or many ways) and we hope that you will engage with our stories and tell some of your own. As long as you have a good story, we want to hear it.
