Entry #16: Who Needs Sleep?

After our harrowing night of swearing off being good, we took that to heart when dealing with the local wildlife around our house. We killed and skinned a rabit at our doorstep to serve as an example then hopped up to our roof (our old watchtower) and looked for birds. We got one before realizing a horrible fact. If we went to sleep inside, someone could climb on the roof and shoot through it to kill us. Conversely, if we slept on the roof, someone could walk inside and shoot us through the roof. This led to our leaping off the roof and charging into our outhouse. Before we could panic anymore about sleeping arrangements, however, we realized it was already dawn. So, we set off down our path, finding a wild horse all too close to our property and spending many a bullet to send it on its way, shooting it in the leg even. Stephen also just made an amazing shot, hitting a songbird that was at least 15 miles off. Impressive.
