Snake

He stepped off the porch and smoothly hopped back up.

Burr?

A snake. A fat, black water moccasin. Neighbors say kill it with a shovel. There’s only a paint scraper with an extension pole. What can we do? “Aerate the lawn” with some practice throws.

Combat boots, shorts, and perfect aim from atop the deck bench. My husband, my hero.
