Voice Threatening Device

I was gone from 7:45 this morning to 9:45 tonight, teaching in Cary. By the time I got home it was pitch black out. I pulled in the driveway and opened my car door to the worst crying sounds of coyotes. The sound was right at the end of my driveway.

My neighbor had told me she had heard them a couple of weeks ago, then another friend had posted that one came after her while walking her dog early in the morning. She had screamed at it and it did not deter the animal. The sound this animal or animals were making was awful.

So I did what I do best. I screamed. No, I did what Carter calls, “voice threatened them away like the operator on the ADT commercial.” I screamed so loudly and so low it almost scared me.

The crying stopped immediately. I hope I scared the shit of it. I screamed again and again so I could get in the house without it thinking about crossing my path.

You know, with the government we have right now I feel like we have enough to worry about out. Wild animals do not need to become a thing. We will not be letting Shay go outside alone. Not without her “voice threatening companion.”
