But there was nothing there, and he brushed off the feeling. He was just being paranoid, no one would trudge out to the middle of nowhere just to spy on his family. Why would they? To get...

I want you to take this story and make it your own fantasy, by imagining the person that you would want to see in these roles. * Whhhoooo...click, clack, click, clack.

You ended up working with what you had at home to make the best of it. Maybe next year you'll get more of a warning but for tonight these will do. You're lucky it's a warm night for October.
