-----
A trio of children wandered haplessly through the thick, vibrant patch of clovers.
Their little backs bent in their hunt for the fabled and ever-elusive four-leafed variant.
Their eyes and attention strained to the brink in hopes of being first to claim their most sought-after prize.
The small group of friends had snuck out of their respective homes and gathered at the furthest edge of their little dorpie that morning with high hopes and empty gathering pouches.
They had sworn to return when and only when each of them had their own clover in hand.
Their own tiny token of luck.
Time had originally been on their side, but they all knew that their parents would be waking any moment now.
They would have to be away from their pursuit and heading back as soon as possible.
Thus far, only two of the three had found such a clover, and so, regardless of how weary they had all become in the last pair of hours, their frantic search would continue.
The group consisted of three.
Two boys and a girl.
The boys, a pair of rough and tumble brothers, the girl, a loner, and a tomboy tagalong.
It was she who was still without a clover.
She whose luck was still yet to be found.
It was she who was bent the lowest.
She who was on her hands and knees.
The brothers searched on as well, yet with their own treasures already secured, they were much less enthusiastic in the attempt.
Suddenly, the girl stopped what she was doing.
She could have sworn that she felt the ground trimmer if not just a bit.
Mayhap it was just her stomach.
She had skipped breakfast for this, it had better pay off...
She moved again, her mind returning to the task at hand.
Brushing aside one last swath of clovers, her heart skipped a beat as the object of her desires seemed to appear before her in the blink of an eye.
She froze.
Her mind couldn't process what she was looking at.
Shacking and on the verge of screaking, she slowly reached for the four-leafed clover.
Suddenly the trimmers returned.
This time coming in rapid succession.
She thought at first that her heart was due to leap from her chest with excitement.
The trimmers intensified.
She glanced to her right at a small puddle amongst the clover patches.
The water within was vibrating.
Gently at first.
Then more and more until suddenly a dark shadow, large and looming eclipsed her vision.
Behind her, the two boys screamed in unison.
She looked up...
She tried to scream, but abject fear trapped the sound in her tiny throat.
She pissed herself.
A massive, murky-green, four-fingered hand engulfed her.
She felt a bit of pressure as the hand squeezed shut.
Outside of that, her death was painless.
Regardless of the fact that they had found their clovers first, the boys would be far less fortunate.
