The scarecrow

"WAKE UP TROLL!"

Jessica was abruptly awoken by the robotic voice. A huge headache suddenly pounded behind her forehead, as she adjusted her eyes to the new brightness. She was in a very dark and small room, the walls floor and ceiling were all made of a dark wooden material. A spotlight shone directly on Jessica, revealing her naked body tied spread eagle to the back wooden wall. Her arms and legs had been stretched to all four corners of the wall.

Infront of her was a scarecrow, only this one seemed different. It had the straw design of a body, with dungarees and a straw hat. Jessica focused on it's face, which had two glowing blue eyes. "I am Master Wallace's scarecrow, and you troll, are trespassing!" The artificial scarecrow told Jessica. "Well I wasn't supposed to know that!" Jessica angrily responded, she chose to ignore the comment about her being a troll..

"I have calculated three warning signs for all trolls, and none of my sensors indicate any of them being damaged or removed. Failure to co-operate with the signs results in a session with me, the Artificial Scarecrow" the Scarecrow told Jessica menacingly. "And what exactly does that entail?" Jessica rolled her eyes, she was fed up with this incredibly weird chain of events.

The scarecrow did not respond for a moment, as it calculated a response. "I make sure all trolls look and behave like a trolls. Trolls do not venture down the garden without permission, and you definitely do not look like a troll, so I will ensure you leave with those two tasks completed..." The scarecrow told Jessica. The naked reporter gulped, she was completely helpless against this scarecrow so she could not withstand whatever was about to come next...
