Buttons and Bones

“Oh that’s totally not fair!” Saige says, but she’s laughing. She climbs down from the tree. “Your turn!”

She spends the next few hours playing hide and seek with Storm, determined to not get found. She goes to the extent of covering herself in mud and burying herself under a pile of leaves. After a while, she turns to Storm.

“Do you think he’s found the button yet? Should we go check?”

"Oh good idea! It has been a while." Storm grins before turning and heading back to where they left the button.

As they return to the rock they set the giant button on, they find the button is....... still there. It appears to be untouched. But a squirrel does sit atop the button, smacking it with an acorn. The squirrel turns as they approach, chitters, and then bounces away with its acorn.

"Well, shit.... Maybe it's not dark enough?" Storm suggests then looks to Saige. "Maybe we wait a little longer? Or should we call it a night?"
