Jack saw them before they saw Jack. From behind a tree he watched them as they stood around a roaring fire, warming their arms, thick with muscle, and speaking to each other in a odd clicking language. Bright, orange poison, the same color as their piercing eyes, dripped from their wickedly sharp claws. Behind them was what Jack wanted; his wallet containing over $ 200 in cash alone. The picture of his wife and children tucked into the pocket made the thievery more personal in his mind. Jack's game plan was set and he creeped out from behind the tree, feeling like a cat about to pounce. That's when they saw him. Screams and clicks rose as the creatures began to flee. Jack, surprised that they had not tries to fight, scooped up the wallet and tucked it into his back pocket, but bloodlust was still on his mind. Jack took a heavy step forward, then another. The screams had ceased and Jack began to turn and walk away, dragging his feet in the dead leaves to wipe away the bright orange blood coating the bottom of his boots. Luckily for Jack the creatures had only been half an inch tall.
