Lost

“I respect that some people need to hunt for food, but knowing and loving deer as I do, I cannot imagine any human being looking at a buck or a doe and pulling the trigger. It’s an unexpected downside of moving to the country. I had no idea that I’d be forced to wrestle with the heartbreak that consumes me when I hear gunshots in the distance. It’s times like this when I wish I wasn’t so sensitive. It’s all I can do to shake off the despair and go about my day.”
