Deafening silence...the roar of peace. I was calmly sitting, contemplating quantum physics when the course of the evening took a drastic turn. Like a comet traveling through the night sky came the gutteral wail of a hen.

Taken aback, I flipped off the couch - ready to pounce. I quickly made my way to the back deck as the cry of the poultry escalated. Ready for anything, I peered into the night and found the hens of 8721 bolting from the coup. Determined to restore peace to the homestead, I grabbed Casey?s shot gun, shells and my cell phone and made way out side. Finely tuned eyes as mine did not require light, however I wanted to be fair and have the option for a last call available to my foe. It did not take long till I found the cold, heartless eyes of a mega-possum staring at me. I had seen its kind on Dinosaur Train...he came to the wrong stop on this night. My steeley nerves honed, I called Casey to calm her fears. Within seconds I felt the need to be gentle, so I holstered the shotgun and grabbed the BB gun. My foe proved challenging as he stood tall after 250 rounds, defiant. I reviewed the situation - I couldn?t do something foolish like shoot a hole in the coup so I needed a plan. A second call was made to Casey...a good husband must always be the calming, reassuring force in his soulmate?s life. With the misses relieved, I fired the last 250 BB?s off, roundhouse kicked the mega-possum from the coup - back flipped to the hay bale near the coup...and was the reason for the extinction of one species that night...
