I just wet my pants with that thought.

Out in God's green...the smell of sage and rosemary.

Silence. And then...

The snap of a twig.

And another.

A branch breaks.

The sound of a body falling into a bush, crawling out, tripping over a
log.

Your finger tightens on the trigger. You slow your breath. "Squeeze,
don't pull."

Who will it be? Who's your victim?

The stumbling gets closer. Animals run for shelter at the increasing
noise.

Who is making enough noise to raise the dead?

And then you see him. Sgt. Schultz? No, it's John tromping around in
his East German Border guard uniform. 110 degrees and he's bundled
like a baby in a nappie.

You do what is humane; what is required.

With a yell you raise up from your ant-infested hiding place and spray
him with your genuine replica Uzi, coloring his uniform a solid
yellow.

"Oh bother," he says looking at you quizzically. "Was I making a bit
too much noise? At least I'm dressed well."

Life is good.
