About The Masked Raccoon
Long after the porch light flicks off, the backyard shifts. A raccoon moves through the shadows, deliberate, nimble-fingered, already working the lid off the trash can before the neighborhood has gone fully quiet. Opossums shuffle along the fence line, unhurried and ancient-looking, while a skunk drifts across the lawn in its own unhurried cloud of authority. These are the hours the yard belongs to someone else entirely.
