Santa's Bells

"Santa was here!" shouts a cheery voice with sparkling eyes, making Christmas morning even more delightful.  Busy little hands sorting through wrapped presents, holiday music playing over the speakers, and blurry-eyed parents from staying up late to ensure someone was fast asleep before completing the final details of Santa's visit, gather around the Christmas tree.

Rattlesnake Antics

“Was that a snake?“  I asked while gazing out the passenger door window.  

“Maybe.  Or is it a car part, like a radiator hose?” replied Scott as he slowed to make a u-turn.  “Geez,” he began while easing up to the object lying in the graveled shoulder, “that’s a BIG rattlesnake!”

I hopped out.

Dear Shameful Hunter,

Look at him!  Grace and beauty have been replaced by glazed, partially opened eyes.  Like a plush piece of red carpet, his thick tongue is unnaturally rolled out of the corner of his mouth with coagulated blood sloppily spattered throughout his heavy nape of neck guard hairs.
