Echos Through the air

Bang.
Bang. 
Bang.



Bang. 
Bang.


Rebels?

Here?

Coming??


How do you explain to someone who has faced so much that a shot in the distance is nothing to fret?
How do you explain to someone whose face is contorted with fear that all is well?

No. No No.
Hunting.
Deer.
Meat.
NO danger.

It's hunting season now, and we are here to explain that it's nothing bad.
But what about the 4th of July?
What about a lawnmower backfiring?

What about all the other things that are going to strike fear into these people who have already feared too long.
My only hope is loving neighbors who will explain.
