Summary: The year is 1898. Sam Winchester is a brilliant engineer, working with the British Army, building a bridge in Africa, determined to stay on schedule to be in home in time for his child's birth. But things fall apart and his past comes back to haunt him when two man-eating lions attack the workers. But they are too driven, too organized, to be ordinary lions.
Notes: Many, many thanks to
dreamersscape for her rather last minute beta work, saving me from typos and reassuring me that the emotions I wanted to get out of the readers worked. :) Also, any inaccuracies and misrepresentations of history and language are either my fault, or kept in order to follow with the artistic license the movie took for story and drama. If you haven't seen the film, this will probably spoil it for you, and I drew on it quite heavily while putting the SPN twist on things. But enjoy!
