Almost but no

Stacy crouched as low as she could, ‘I can’t be seen. Not yet!’, she thought to herself. She could tell one of the workers was so close to seeing her but before he could a yelp was heard followed by loud audible gasps. It was one of the other workers falling for Stacy’s second phase. Looking over Stacy saw the worker laying face towards the ground his head supported by a plank of wood and just inches below him was a nail.

Stacy didn’t want to hurt anyone but knew they wouldn’t take her seriously if none of these events had elements of danger. With worker about to spot Stacy distracted this was her chance to flee and get into position.

At first the workers were merely frustrated by these strings of bad luck but after the nail this frustration turned to fear. ‘Was a witch really out there?’, they thought. They walked around slowly looking for anything that could resemble the nude woman from the stories they heard. Not paying attention to where they were walking they didn’t even notice when they each stepped on puddles of adhesive. One of them took another step only fall over, quickly he looked at his feet in fear.

‘It’s time.’, she thought, ‘They’re nice and scared.’
