The Swamp Elephant

Horace Broussard knows he needs to learn how to say no to his brother, Herbert. His older, larger brother always seems to drag him into trouble. Except, the two times he'd gathered the courage, Herbert had explained why it was a bad ideawith his fists and feet. The first time had left him pissing blood for days. The second time had culminated in a broken wrist. Horace doesn't say no to his brother anymore, which is how he ends up poaching gators in the swampagain.

When they spot a small pack of wolves running through the cypress trees, Herbert orders that they go after them, claiming a wolf pelt on his floor would be cool.

Just like many of Herbert's bad ideas, Horace ends up in hot water. They're caught by the owners of the wolvesa fierce biker gang. Except, then something crazy happens. A huge African elephant grabs Horace in its trunk and carries him into the swamp. When other animals arrive and turn into men, he wonders if he's hit his head and is hallucinating. Can the paranormal be real, and if so, how can he keep this revelation from his dominating brother?
