Fireplace Owl


Well, here's a story that may make you laugh. One dark night, rather late, I might add. I was watching T.V. When all of sudden, I heard something rattling the fireplace doors. It continued for some time. I sat paralyzed with fright. I thought of all the possibilities as each one ran wildly through my head. Well,of course where else would these thoughts run? Anyway, I told myself that it was nothing and went to bed. The next night came. It got rather late and yes, once again , while I was watching T.V. the banging and rattling came from the fireplace. This time,with all the courage I could muster, I grabbed a flashlight and cautiously went to the firepalce and shined the light through the glass door. To my surprise two big round yellow eyes stared back at me just as scard as I had been. Oh my gosh! What should I do now? Well, of course, there was no question. Call Craig Luke, the verminator!! He'll save me and the baby owl. He came over quite quickly; surveyd the situation and asked for a plastic bag. Then gently he reached into the fireplace, grabbed the baby owl, ran to the front door and let the poor firghtened owl fly away.

Well now I know where I get my story telling skills. :)
You forgot to mention it happened another time after that before you were able to put up netting over the chimney. LOL (that means Laugh Out Loud).
