"The what?" Japheth asked.

Dennys tried to explain. "Hunters who shine a bright light in the eyes of the deer. It blinds them and they freeze and can't move, and then the hunters shoot. Jack-lighting is illegal, but that doesn't stop a lot of people."

"A lot?" Japheth asked.

Dennys stated, "A few can seem like a lot.”
