This is a work of fiction. All names and characters are either invented or used fictitiously. To the best of the author’s knowledge, there is no such licensed product as a Double-Jointed Vampire Barbie, nor is there a cinematic portrayal thereof.

On the morning of April 24, an hour past dawn, a man named Palmer Stoat shot a rare African black rhinoceros. He fired from a distance of thirteen yards and used a Winchester .458, which knocked him flat on his back. The rhinoceros wheeled, as if to charge, before snorting twice and sagging to its knees.

“You ready?” Durgess was wiping down the lens of the video camera.
“Hey, look here.” Stoat pointed accusingly.
“I’m lookin’. ”
“Care to explain?”
“Explain what? That’s a horn,” said Durgess.
Stoat gave a yank. It broke off in his hands.
Durgess said, “Now see what you done.”
“It’s fake, Jethro.” Angrily Stoat thrust the molded plastic cone at Durgess.
“The other one’s real,” Durgess said defensively.
“The other one’s a nub!”
“Look, it wasn’t my idea.”
“You glued a phony horn on my thirty-thousand-dollar rhinoceros. Is that about right?”
Nervously Durgess cracked his knuckles.
