”Yet another set of crop circles has appeared, this time at the Smith’s farm.  This is the second time crop circles have appeared in the past week.  Local government officials have refused to look into it, saying that the crop circles are nothing but a prank, but several different organizations specializing in such out of this world phenomenon have begun investigating.  They are all working together at this point of time to get to the bottom of it.  They say that they do have some ideas of what could be happening but are going to wait till they are 100% positive before they release any of those ideas.  They have calculated when the next crop circles will appear and that is-“

”Spencer!”

I groaned and turned the television off before getting up and walking into the kitchen, “Yes mom?”

She was standing behind the counter, cutting up a piece of meat, ‘Your brother forgot to bring the manure spreader back with the tractor.  I need you to go get it.”

”But mom, he was working on the opposite side of the crop field today.  Plus, he’s the one that forgot it, he should be the one to go get it.”

”You’re right, he was the one working on the opposite side of the field and so that is where you’ll have to go to get it.  That is also the exact reason he doesn’t have to go get it, he was working all day.”

”But I was working, too!”

”Don’t fight with me, Spencer Marie Carling, Just do as your told!  And just because you did talk back, you can walk there!”

”Are you serious?!  What about the crop circles?!”

”Those were made by a bunch of teenagers whose parents don’t make them go to church.  Now, get walking, missy.”

I grumbled under my breath and walked out the back door and into the darkness.  I zipped my hoodie up all the way and put my hood on, somewhat hoping that the blackness of the jacket would protect me from anything and everything that might be out here.  I took a deep breath before heading into the crop field, getting more and more scared as I walked, unable to see over the tall crops.  With every few steps I take, it seems that my pace is picking up to the point where I’m nearly jogging.
