The Jungle

Four o'clock in the morning. I am awakened by a series of spine-tingling howls and growls through the open windows on the front and back side of our house.

I spring to the window but see nothing in the darkness.

Coyotes. Who are they executing this time: The neighbor's cat? A fox? A racoon? Hopefully it's one of those damn rabbits.

Silence. Adrenaline rush.

Sleep is now out of the picture.
