We detected just 1 burrowing owl on-transect, but it is important to reiterate that we avoided walking in areas known by land managers to contain active burrows.

When you're trying to execute perfect extinction of an owl-species you can't let land managers know where you are at. I almost had the spotted-owl wiped off the planet but then

the electric chair I strapped it to at the end of the plank went haywire. The owl transformed into Electric Owl, hero of all endangered species. With its innate owl wisdom and

arms and charged the strangely humanoid creature with our swords raised. Pirates were screaming and swinging their weapons wildly into the air as I struck something with my sword.

The something, looked down at the gash my sword had made in it's side, then it looked at me with it's soulful banshee eyes before beginning its death aria. The pirates and I listen

to each note, every one a universe in itself expanding and exploding in concentric circles. The dirge began to pick up tempo. Some of pirates began to hum along blood running from

their rotting eyes. They stamped their feet in time to the dirge, the sound echoing across the oceans.

Zombitopia had become a perfect society, a sprawling metropolis with mausoleums tall as skyscrapers and an underground ghost train rail system that rivaled anything

the Medici brothers could have come up with. But alas, desiccated corpses are highly flammable, and like Rome, Zombitopia burned to the ground, only much, much faster. Pity Pozzo.
