The Trouble with Turtles

"Damn turtles!"

Jeremy shoved the unwelcome pests off the path and back into the pond, but he missed one.  One solitary green backed turtle snuck under the fence and died instantly as it encountered the high voltage wires emanating from the power station.  The valley was left in darkness - the turtle was left shell shocked.
