Guy is transporting beavers on a deserted road and looses one in the river. A hitchhiker, the Pied Piper, offers to capture the beaver for him in exchange for a ride into town. In the story Guy is revealed to be a student working as a beaver transporter. He has a past that haunts him. The story includes themes of forgiveness and revenge.The story is very well written. I had problems relating to the violence in the story. I realize violence is part of the genre, and short stories are limited in the scope of character development, but the motives weren't clear to me. The violence seemed gratuitous.The story is recommended, but I gave it 3 stars.
