ABSTRACT
KA-POW, KA-POW, KA-POW! The sound of the .357 Magnum reverberated off the walls of the family room. I reached for… the remote to terminate the inane slaughter of television violence.
Killing… the room lights brought instant darkness to complement the deafening quiet as I stepped out onto the deck. Now, the only sound to penetrate the solitude of our secluded haven on the shores of Goose Creek Bay was that of a great horned owl and the light rustling of leaves from the wisps of a soft ummer breeze.
