Dangerous Wilderness

The woman was trapped in the bathroom, cut off from the rest of her house because of the bear that had innocently wandered into her kitchen, out of the surrounding woods from which the sprawling subdivision had been carved. All mod cons on the edge of the wilderness. No doubt the bear’s former stomping grounds. Fortunately for her, she had her cell phone and called her husband. He came with the police and they shot the bear.
     “Living here can be dangerous,” declared the husband, standing over the dead animal.
     Yeah, for the bears, I thought.
