Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Pudding & pie?

Deer do not grasp the concept of lights and sirens.

Hee. There's a reason the phrase is "like a deer in the headlights."

I think somebody probably hit an elk here recently because there was something very large, very dead off a side road from the highway. We noticed because there were a) six bald eagles including a juvenile hanging out in the area, b) a bunch of ravens sitting morosely in a tree waiting for c) a coyote strolling casually around in the daytime to finish his meal and leave.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

In Australia of course it's kangaroos. A friend and I once speculated what your big roo was thinking as he stood in the middle of the road and calmly watched twin headlights bearing down at high speed.

I've heard lots of stories about the rabbit up north in NM lining up along the highways. Never seen it myself.

The suburbs here have deer like DC has rats. I've seen them strolling through people's yards. I live right by the NIST campus, which is effectively a huge deer preserve. In the spring and fall you'll see whole herds out there. Surrounded on all sides by major commuter roads, which works out like you'd expect.

On the bright side, if things get really dire I can get in on the ground floor of the venison market. Ooh, and they get plenty of geese, too.

Just one more thing you have in common with Captain Sullenberger. Once he hits a deer in midflight, anyway.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

This is bringing to mind "The Night Before Christmas" in a very, very unfortunate way.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

There used to be a small family of deer living in my parents' compost heap. They only left when the family with Really Big Dogs moved in next door.
