Re: My first contract hit
I used to have a mockingbird outside my window that would imitate car alarms from about midnight to 3 am every night. Incredibly no set of calls was ever the same. It was the craziest, loudest, hardest to ignore sound you could possibly imagine. It took me a couple nights to realize someone wasn't pulling some prank with a bullhorn or loud speaker. I just couldn't conceive that sound could come out of a living creature. Also it was the hottest summer ever in LA and I don't have AC, so closing the window really sucked.
I couldn't see the thing at night so all I could do was throw stuff in his general direction. I swear if I could have killed him right then I would have had no problem. Then I would see him during the day, and I couldn't bring myself to do it. Finally I just started spraying him with a hose and he moved down the street to torment someone else.
