Heart Stopping Scream

Heart stopping scream. Permeates the woods. A woman being murdered. I grab my flashlight. I wouldn’t do that if I were you. I glare at my friend. A woman is being killed. I am going to save her. That was a bobcat, she says. I come right back to the deck. There are no more screams But yips of coyotes.

I hate coyotes. They gang up on smaller animals and rip their entrails out. Disgusting creatures. We have them, too, here in the small city of Ashland.

We have them and when we hear wild yipping my blood turns cold.
