Narrative Essay: The Kite Runner

As the night falls, and the moon rises over the city, a killer, knife in hand, takes to the streets. In that same city, a runner, a beautiful young woman, ties her shoes and steps out into the moonlight for a run through its shadowed avenues.

One of them is raging and seeks bloody revenge. The other has no idea what is coming.

For on this night, as the moon shines full, and with a loving husband murdered and lying forever cold in the grave, a young widow decides that she’s had enough—and the hunted baits the hunter to his unsuspecting
death.
