What you See is What You Get (Jenunique's Challenge: Yeah, I realize I answered my own challenge....)

“Do you see that?” Derek was holding the camera in front of him as he and Cheryl walked through the wood.

“See what?” Cheryl zipped her jacket and shoved her hands into her pockets a little deeper. She scanned the immediate area in front of where they stood.

“You can’t see that? Look,” Derek instructed as he thrust the camera in her face.

Cheryl gasped. Jerking her hands from her pockets she took the camera from Derek. “Hey,” he exclaimed, looking at the empty plot of grass between the trees.

“Oh my God,” Cheryl muttered as she looked from the view finder to the naked area between the trees. “It’s moving,” she breathed. The creature seemed to be moving it mouth parts and rising from the ground it was standing on.

Derek and Cheryl stood noggin to noggin as they watched the view finder. Confused as to the missing creature before them, only seen through the electronic eye of the camera.

Cheryl frowned and backed a step.

Derek turned to her and laughed, plucking the bug from the lens.
