Andres sighed and leaned against the fence line. the evening was cool and still, only the waving of tall grass from behind the ranch moved. From a clearing Andres saw several coyote traveling, he smiled and whistled through his teeth in the high pitched way that made coyote turn their glowing eyes in his direction. Andres chuckled seeing the little heads pick up. 

Then the big one stood on its hind legs, and andres’ heart dropped into his pelvis.

“What in the world,” he mouth as the coyote shaped creature began bounding on its two legs towards him,

“WHAT THE FUCK,” he fell backwards and wrenched free Reighleif. the coyote flew into the wire fence, and the shooting Doppler sound of fence wire tensing sounded down the fence line. the fence contained the creature, the snout of the coyote sniffed at him quickly. 

“Julios. you are brazen and unprepared. You waste your time posturing. the big one that sleeps in the mountain is stirring. Bearmother tells us to steer clear, you should too.” the coyote allowed the fence to rebuke back to its intended line, and it ran back to its pack on all fours

Andres was on his ass.

“….fuck me” he panted, not understanding.
