At the time, I just knew something was clicking inside its mouth.
The dogs were both hiding by then.
Duke had wedged himself between the couch and the wall.
Roscoe was under the kitchen table with his head down.
Neither of them would look at the door.
I grabbed my phone and called Carla.
It rang until voicemail.
I called Ray.
Same thing.
I texted both of them.
Something is on the porch.
A deer is at the back door.
It knocked.
I knew how insane that looked in writing.
I almost deleted the last part, but I sent it anyway.
The motion light went off.
That was somehow worse.
The kitchen fell dark except for the TV light from the living room and the little green numbers on the microwave.
I stood there holding my phone, staring at the outline of the back door.
I couldn't see the deer anymore, but I knew it was still there.
