5Luke parked his car at the side of the road. He walked over to the
6massive corn field and squinted. Somewhere out there was his big
7break. If the legend held true, he knew he'd have it set. Trying to
8be silent, Luke pulled apart rows of corn and began to make his way
9to the center of the field. Looking out, he knew he had a long way
10to go. His revolver sat snuggly in his jean pockets. He wasn't
11afraid to use it if he was heard.

13Luke's white sneakers sunk into the moist soil, as he crept through the
14corn field. He knew something was up. The full moon shined brightly
15into the center of the corn field. In the center of the field stood
16a mounted scarecrow. Its eyes beamed like an illuminating light,
17and the straw covering its bare body poked out through seams on its
18clothing. Luke was here for a purpose. As an FBI investigator, it
19was his job to trot through this corn field to investigate the
20claim that underneath the rugged clothing of this lifeless
21scarecrow lays a corpse. He barged through a petite opening in the
22corn field, and reached the scarecrow. The scarecrow was a morbid
23mass of lifeless straw. A knife was tied into the scarecrows hand
24with a piece of string. Luke unfastened the rope holding the
25scarecrow unto the cross. The scarecrow then toppled over, landing
26on Luke. It was heavier then he imagined. Luke rolled over, getting
27out from underneath the scarecrow.

29Luke looked out into the corn field. It was an infinite abyss of
30yellow and green plants. From his viewpoint, he couldn't see out of
31the corn field. Luke turned back, and noticed in shock that the
32scarecrow was now standing. Luke took a step back, but the
33scarecrow moved in closer. With one luxurious swipe, the monument
34of hay and straw sliced through Luke's neck with its knife. Luke
35vomited wildly through his neck while disturbing and tremendously
36rust colored blood came out through the same orifice. A stream of
37strawberry-red blood dripped from the scarecrows metallic and
38majestic knife, that soon entered into Luke's head. Luke dropped to
39his knees. He gurgled like a drowning infant as he struggled to
40breathe. Luke vomited blood through the hole in his head as
41bubble-gum colored brain matter and blood exited Luke's head with
42the scarecrows knife. Luke wasn't quite dead yet, he slowly crawled
43away from the deadly straw body, but it was too late. A gust of
44wind and magic picked Luke's body up into the air. Like quills, the
45scarecrows straw exited his body and pierced into Luke's flesh.
46Luke let out one final scream, before he died. Luke's lifeless body
47floated magically to the brown wooden cross. As the lifeless
48scarecrow soon faded into the ground, Luke's body strapped onto the
49cross. The scarecrow was now gone, but a new scarecrow has come to
50take its place.
