Something is stealing meat from Jed Smith’s smokehouse. Jed shoots a foot off it, but it escapes up the chimney.

…and I’m not entirely sure it’s meat that gets smoked in that ‘smokehouse’. I mean, holy shit, what, exactly, was he smoking if this is what he saw?

And then it escaped up a chimney? What, can it fly?

Is it a lion? Is it a male lion wearing a string of pearls? Does the lady of this story turn into a majestic male lion?
