Something new has been added

Just when I am almost getting used to the varied automotive sounds of the boulevard out front; the sound of music and advertising ‘festively’ blasting; the sounds of the house falling apart; the sounds of guard dogs barking at anything; the sounds dog packs fighting at any hour… I was awoken to the sound of a horse screaming. Have you ever heard a horse scream?! Gods! Talk about a night mare! The considerate owners left a sorrel horse on a long lead to graze in the lot next door. I thought they would have collected the animal at some point, but by the sound of the screaming in the wee hours, the fools had left it there and something happened to it. My Human’s mom suspected that it must have wandering around in the dark and wrapped the lead about it’s neck and it began to strangle. It happened once before…
This time, no horse body was found in the morning so it survived whatever terror caused the ruckus.  Or the aliens took it away…
