The Vixen’s Scream
It all began with a scream in the night. Not just any scream, but a hoarse bark that sounded like a dog in distress. Not recognizing the voice, Chuck Billy rolled over and went back to bed. However, I was worried that a friend was in trouble, and ran to the window to peer out […]
