  Summary

  Something is terrorizing Gordon’s birds. He won’t stand for it, no matter how neurotic Tommy is about the welfare of all animals, predator or not. If he needs to line the fence around his bird coops with barbed wire, that’s what he’ll do- but he’s not expecting to end up accidentally catching something.

  In other words, how a hungry cryptid managed to tumble his way into Gordon’s heart and home.

  (Rated mature for future violence just in case. Also swear words.)
