6. The Sound
Jack was up early on a hot summer’s morning, waking before the sun. He untangled his blankets and remained silent so as not to disturb his wife.
Jack put on his overalls and quickly shaved his face. He then went out to begin his work.
Jack was walking to his barn when he heard a strange sound. He couldn’t see where the noise was coming from, as it was still dark. He was aware that something was wrong.
7. Jack Is Scared
Jack was not a man who would be easily scared, this much is true.
He was embarrassed by how the sound made him nervous. His mind wondered what could be lurking in the darkness. He had heard a fox’s scream before, but this one was different.
Jack, a prudent, pragmatic guy, wasn’t used to this kind of unknown.
