Close Encounter with a Jackelope

So, I've been looking for inspiration a lot lately and not finding a lot of it. It's been getting in my hair. So, today, staring blankly out the window and drooling a bit, as I am wont to do, I see this dark shape go flying past my window.

I finally catch it zipping around and it's a jackelope. I'm an open minded guy but I can't accept that it's zipping past my window on the second floor. Upon closer inspection, it was a winged jackelope, which really explained it all. He was chasing around a couple of hummingbirds that hang out near my neighbor's feeder.

I was exceedingly excited to see it. Jackelopes are only slightly less rare than the flying variety. Then he stole one of my hubcaps and pooped on my car.

I hate jackelopes.
