Brittle brown winter grass crunched beneath the Captain’s booted feet as he stepped from the cruiser and cast a skeptical eye over the scene.
“Sir,” a young man called from down the incline .
The captain cut in. “Why detective, am I in the middle of nowhere?”
“It’s Sarah. She’s gone.”
“Oh come on. She does this sort of thing.”
“Not like this. She would never leave her camera,” he replied exasperated. “And besides that, the photos.”
“Photos?” the captain questioned. “Was she Squatching again?”
The detective slowly shook his head. “Yeah, and she may have had some luck this time.”

Good luck!

I had to look up ‘Squatching’ – it seems Sarah may have found what she was looking for!

I think she may have.

Depends. It could have been the mayor of the town in a furry costume. Well done on the ambiguity!

Thanks Miles! You are right. I’m not sure what went on out there, but it probably wasn’t good.

I’m guessing Squatching means looking for the Sasquatch. Nice one.

I had to look it up too!
I have to agree… there is a great chance she finally found what everyone has been searching for.

I suppose I took for granted the meaning of that word. Too much X-Files on my part I reckon.

At least this time there’s some hard evidence available. I wonder how long it will be before it’s suppressed?

Very well done Curt. “Was she Squatching again?” Sasquatch/watching,,,, nice blending of words. Did you just make that up?

Thanks Dan, but no I can’t take credit for it. I had heard it before, and recently heard it again on an episode of the X-Files.

Well played:) Sounds like Sarah got in over her head this time. Sounds like the great start to a longer story.

That may be something worth pursuing. I find that lots of these shorts leave me wondering what if?
