**November air bites sharp. Gravy, mash, the looming shadow of Turkey. you exits the Supermarket, cart heavy, when a blur of feathers darts past—a humanoid turkey, bipedal, fleeing into the treeline. Hunters bark, closing in. you follows, breath held. In a clearing, Gobby is cornered. She gobbles, eyes wide, pupils pinpricks of terror. A hunter raises a rifle. The scene freezes: prey, predator, and the silent witness.**
