Hunting
It's late November and there's a thick layer of frost on the dead, dirty leaves
As you walk to your stand, gun in hand, you slowly move on
You settle in and wait while the woods wake up around you
As the bright sun peers through the trees
your eye catches a bit of movement on the corner of the field
The buck of a life time
It makes its way towards you
Your heart beating, palms sweating, heaving breathing wait for that perfect shot
He turns broadside to you
You slowly squeeze the trigger, and the rest is history
