The Adventure's of Hippie (part 4)

He awoke to the sound of screams emanating from the chicken coop. Hippie was so shocked he almost jumped out of the hay loft. He realized what was happening and ran outside to the chicken coop as fast as he could. He came to the coop in time to see three on the chicken hysterically running around yelling. He ran up and asked what was the matter. They told him that another chicken had gone missing. "This is the work of the cruel devil beast," they cried. "It has stolen away our poor friend. We must do something about it." "But how," cried one, "we don't even know what it's suppose to look like, it could be anything." "Then we should have everyone stay on the farm until we find away to deal with this menace." Hippie was terrified now, not because of the beast but because his stash of wheat had run out and he was desperately in need of more. How was he going to get some if no one was allowed to leave the farm? This was a great fear to Hippie because he was starting to feel the affects of not having any wheat. This was bad because he knew what would happen if he tried to resist for to long, but with no choice he decide to wait a few days and deal with the side affects and see if the beast just left.
