When the gun shot
They crept along the ground, their light fur blending into the dark wet grass, getting closer to the sleeping herd of sheep. The Alpha leapt…
The farmer yawned, stretching his old muscles. He walked to the window expecting to see a peaceful herd of sheep grazing on the dew covered ground. Instead he saw a scared flock of sheep. He rushed through the door, still in his pj's to see what had startled the sheep.
The sound of the door slamming awoke the farmer's daughter. "Alanna!" screamed the farmer. Alanna was shocked that her gentle father was screaming. When Alanna had reached her father, he was crouching, cursing under his breathe. "Tonight, I'm going to kill one of those coyotes." "No, Dad they have to eat" But her Dad wouldn't listen. That night the farmer left the house. Alanna stayed home and she flinched when the gunshot.
