Poacher's Bag of Game

A weathered canvas sack cinched at the neck with frayed cord, bulging where a pheasant's dark wings jut through the seams. The bag swings as its owner flees through protected woodland, then hangs abandoned where an invisible barrier halts pursuit. Its canvas bears the accumulated stains of forest damp and old blood from prior kills, the dark spots clinging like remembered violence.
