From the side of the coop stumbled a frail, skinny looking man with a dead chicken latched between his blunt teeth. The clothing that he wore seemed to barely fit him, his feet naked and caked in mud. He hooted in surprise before scaling the coop's fencing, falling over the other side. The figure would scramble to his feet before running away into the dense treeline a few feet out. As soon as Gregory was comfortable the man was gone he would sight a breath of relief and head back to the house. Leslie's gaze continued to follow the figure as they fled, her father passing her to enter the house once more.
"Dad...what do you mean 'Mister Holland?'" She'd ask, turning to follow him back in. Meowinnsky would hop onto her shoulder, the woman closing the door behind her and locking it. "Mister Holland, from down the road?" Their neighbor, though not as close as neighbors were expected to be like in the cul-de-sac.
