Motion Lights

 Motion Lights

Our house is ringed by them, installed by the former owner, a single woman. When one goes on at night, I look out the window, and, sure enough, I see animals - deer, racoons, ‘possum - or sometimes, nothing. It must be a shock to whomever or whatever hurried to the shadows to avoid my eavesdropping. If it’s a ‘who,’ the trespasser should be exposed. If it’s a ‘what,’ they’re just trying to make a living foraging by night. The animals are so much safer to do so when it’s dark, rather than when the big, blazing motion light - our Sun - is out.
