"I can't believe what this world is coming to." ,said a woman in her mid thirties. She had shoulder length light brown hair and brown eyes. She sat on the brown leather couch before the TV with worry on her face. She wore a white turtle neck sweater and a pair of dark jeans that hugged her legs. She stood up and walked to the sliding door to look out to the Autumn world separated by glass. The leaves of Fall danced on the branches as a cool breeze caught them. She closed her eyes and crossed her arms for a moment taking in a couple deep breaths. When she opened them there stood a figure dressed in camo paint and cloths. She jumped and cover her mouth holding back a scream. She laughed, then opened the door with a smile for the person with painted face and canvases in camo.

"How was the hunt, see anything?" ,she asked with a smile.

"Just birds and squirrels, but I'm only coming in for and hour or so. Then back out to the blind." , he replied as he stepped in and rested his rifle in a corner near the sliding door.

"True, well you already filled all three freezers already. You could take a break." ,she said happily as she walked to the kitchen to make him some hot chocolate.

The young man's head twitched slightly, "Mom you know I really enjoy hunting, it makes me happy." he added as he took off his boots and followed her into the kitchen.

"I know it does, do you have enough meat at your apartment?" ,she asked concerned.

The painted faced young man took a careful drink of the coco then spoke.

"Oh yeah I'm set."
