She slammed the window shut, the sound echoing in the silent house. That blasted terrier, always escaping and terrorizing her prize winning chickens. She had tried reasoning with the owner, pleading with the owner, but it was just ignored.

She took a deep breath, trying to calm her racing pulse. She opened the garage door, grabbed the plastic container of chicken feed, and added a heaping spoonful of something else. Something she’d found at the local hardware store, a granule, labeled as rodent control.

The next day, the terrier was no more. The owner was distraught. She offered her condolences, eyes sparkling.
