Blunderbuss.
Engineer Smith wasn't changed into an ordinary senior after his laconic resignation, and he decided to apply to his old hobby: search out abstruse happenings from bird's life.
He constructed a special tenacious lime twigs and suspended their on trees, fixed in hedges or simply stuck into the earth,and small birds adhered to them by their plumage.
Once making yourself comfortable in his favorite armchair and looking with so characteristic of him hedonism, how few last oblique sunbeams pass through the open window, Smith cringed in horror, seeing the blunderbuss aimed really at him.
«It is possible the bullet is envenomed»- thought Smith, mentally saying good buy to life.
But it was only the evil trick of his neighbour in the cottage.
