- i grabbed the four pounds of czech red plastic explosive i had left and
- went out hunting for the elusive abode. the last time i went out looking
- for them i only took my rifle. it wasn't enough. in fact they acted like
- they enjoyed it. this time i'm prepared. i need an abode and i need it
- fast. i'm sick of screwing around with ineffective ways of catching one.
- this time i'll take one, dead or alive. i threw the plastique in my
- shoulder bag, left the dog some food and took off on foot for the
- mountains.

- well, i could go on and on about how i tracked the damned abode
- herd for days if not weeks but i really don't see the point. in the end i
- trapped an excellent abode by creating a giant crater in front of the
- stampeding herd. i did this by detonating all four pounds of the plastique
- at exactly the right time. this was determined by my instant analysis of
- the herds speed and the probability that they would make a sharp right hand
- turn at a nearby patch of sillal. that doesn't mean much to the abodes,
- especially since they don't have right or left hands. i called a freight
- company and had them retrieve the abode from the hole and bring down to my
- property. after fencing it in i was finally able to nail it to the platform
- i had poured a week earlier. it screamed a bit but don't ever let that fool
- you. abodes love to have nails stuck in them. they just scream to freak you
- out. hell, once i was spying on a herd of abodes and they were going
- through a weird ritual that seemed a lot like body piercing. they also
- seemed to be laughing. i highly suggest catching your own abode. not only
- is it cheaper, but you can choose which one you want and you get the
- pleasure of telling all your friends (if you have any) that you bagged this
- one yourself after tracking a herd for two weeks and living on nothing but
- pinion nuts and grass.
