What the Heck Happened to Old Man Birkley?, by Alan Maguire

What the Heck Happened to Old Man Birkley?

Stripped down to his thermals,
his feet snug in worn brown boots,
crunching, crunching, through the snow,
rifle ready, steady hand and fear filled,
moonlight in his eyes.
“ I know you’ re there, ”
“ come out of the barn now, ” he shouted.
An emotion far beyond fear then reaches his soul.
