Open with a rural yard, a house to the left and a garden patch with a shed to the right. The rain has just passed overhead.

A Gentleman sits in his study with his coffee and audio book.

He raises the cup to sip...

But he notices movement out in the yard.

A local deer has stopped in his garden searching for a snack.

The gentleman watches closely.

Crunch! The deer decides to eat his favorite flowers.

His eyebrow twitches as the deer consumes his hard work.

He abruptly sets down the cup and rushes to the yard, the book still playing in his ears.

He marches out into the wet grass.

And slips just a few feet off the porch.

He gets up covered in mud, hair a mess, and with tears on his clothes n mud, hair a mess, and with tears on his clothes.

He runs back inside to find something to scare the deer off.

After a moment a spear point emerges from the side of the house.

As he approaches the deer, he is transformed into a Neolithic hunter.

His body is rigid, hair a tangled mass, a month long beard grows in an instant. He can hear the drums beat and the heart pound in his chest.

At the critical moment, he pulls back and releases the spear towards the deer.

A split second of silence. Then a thud.

The deer runs by and off into the forest again.

The spear twangs as it resonates, jutting out of the shed door. He is snapped back to reality pear twangs as it resonates, jutting out of the shed door. He is snapped back to reality.

The gentleman stares off into the forest.

His wife calls to him from inside “Dear, the phone! It’s the University calling!

He walks back to the house.

Just before entering he turns back to look at the spear. He laughs to himself and returns to his ordinary life.

Clouds begin to clear above the yard.
