Spring '11 TOC
Our boots were by the door. We were ready to enter the cold as soon as we opened the door and stepped
outside. How surprised we were when we did so and felt the mild night air. We turned left and noted
the right side lights had been turned off, possibly removed, but the left side ones glowed. We turned
left and proceeded straight, uneventfully, though we had hoped to see an animal. When we made our
next left hand turn, we saw lights approaching us. At the last moment, they veered off to our left, their
right. Soon, they disappeared. We heard voices, but couldn’t place them nor could we locate their
source. Then we saw an animal, a little farther ahead, enough so that we could not distinguish its chief
characteristics and hence: its species. So silent: we noted as we turned left once more. We stepped
inside and placed our boots neatly by the door, hats and gloves beside.
