Attacked from above

I think I am under attack. Not 100% sure, but something odd is going on. I suspect it may be killer squirrels with a bad batch of small hand (paw?) grenades. They don’t seem to be detonating, but maybe they’re just waiting till I’m least expecting it….

Allow me to elaborate. On returning to the ole’ homestead after a hard days work I noticed some small red spheres on the floor in the lounge. They’re hard, red, and about the size of a bit of un-popped popcorn. Having no idea where they came from I chucked them out and didn’t give it another thought.

The next day there were more on the floor, so I had a hunt around, but found nothing. Most odd. And then I was sitting there, and heard a strange noise. On investimigation I see something coming down the chimney, bouncing off a log and flying into the room. About five of them come down and then it stops. WTF?

Since there’s no one living on the roof, and the things are too small and light to be thrown in from a distance (not that there’s anywhere to throw from) I can only assume it’s those pesky killer squirrels having a laugh. I’m still debating what to do about it, but rest assured, when I figure it out I’ll let you know.
