“No, LOOK! It’s on the upper right side of the picture. Plain as day!”
“Okay, Detective. Let’s say it’s an eye. So?”
“Does no one ever THINK around here? What does an eye do? It SEES!”
“Sees what, man? You’re going all woo-woo on me here!”
The detective sighed. “US, you idiot! No way for us to sneak up on the cabin, surprise the guy in there. The EYE sees us!”
The Chief looked down, then back up. “Okay, so we get rid of the eye. Then, we go in. All right?”
“Yeah. Yeah, okay. HOW?”
Just Writing! 
Hmm. He’s got it all thought out apart from the tedious practicalities

It was the first thing I noticed about the picture. You now how sometimes you can’t UNSEE something? It’s probably just the way the branches come together, but it looked like an eye, I used it.

No need to unsee, when what you see is something to make a great story. It was a great spot, well done, Linda.

Dear Linda,
I’d say the detective either has an overactive imagination or has been working too hard.

Now I wonder whether the detective is going to be proved right. Love how you focussed away from the centre of the image.

Oh dear, they come across as inept, best of luck. I believe the suspect is long gone by now.
There is an element of slapdash comedy in your story, which I enjoyed.

I imagine the chief and the detective to be a bitt of a bumbling pair. Hopefully, they’ll get the job done in one piece. I love that you saw something else, other than the cabin. Great “eye!” Entertaining dialogue. =)

I love the dialogue here, Linda. If they tamper with the eye it will be a warning just as sure as anything. I say bazooka the cabin and call it good 😉
