“Hello?” I muttered into the telephone receiver. My voice sounded like I had just woken up, because I had. I had just woken up because it was the middle of the night.
“Could ya turn down the radio?” the voice on the other end implored.

Obligations of re-enactment
By Morris Dean
In My Life as a Turkey (2011, directed by David Allen), the possessive pronoun refers to Joe Hutto, a naturalist who made mother-turkey sounds over an incubating basket of wild-turkey eggs and so managed to be "imprinted" on the hatchlings, one-by-one, as they pecked their way out of the shells and looked upon his friendly, nurturing face. In doing that, Hutto took upon himself the moral obligation to spend all his days for over a year raising the young turkeys to adulthood and beyond, in a remote wilderness of northern Florida.
