The Spyglass

By Bonnie Elizabeth

Albert doesn't understand why the island is called Easter Island as he can't find anything to do with the resurrection of Jesus, which is what he thought Easter was about. What he does find is plenty of intrigue.

 

Who is that man hiding in the bowels of the earth steeling sheep?
 
Though he fears the giant heads that watch their every move on the island, Albert sets off to find out who the man was and what he was doing near their camp.

 

Unfortunately for Albert, the man is more desperate than he can imagine and the dangers this man poses are far more real than being eaten by a giant head.

The Spyglass is a short crime story set in the World War I Era.

Bonnie Elizabeth

Bonnie Elizabeth could never decide what to do, so she wrote stories about amazing things and sometimes she even finished them. While rejection stung her so badly in person, she spent most of her young life talking to cats and dogs rather than people, she was unusually resilient when it came to rejections on her writing, racking up a good number of them. Floating through a variety of jobs, including veterinary receptionist, cemetery administrator, and finally acupuncturist, she continued to write stories. When the internet came along (yes, she’s old), she started blogging as her cat, because we all know cats don’t notice rejection. Then she started publishing. Bonnie writes in a variety of genres. Her popular Whisper series is contemporary fantasy and her Teenage Fairy Godmother series is written for teens. She has published in a number of anthologies and is working on expanding her writing repertoire. She lives with her husband (who talks less than she does) and her three cats, who always talk back. You can find out more about her books at her publisher, My Big Fat Orange Cat Publishing.

The Spyglass

The man was shirtless and running quickly across the field. He held something gray in his arms. Albert couldn’t make out what it was even with the spyglass. A sheep baa-ed from down the hill which made him think the man was carrying a sheep. Of course it was a sheep. The familiar refrain of stupid…stupid…stupid, ran through his mind. He’d heard it enough.

Albert fingered his spyglass. It was his most priceless treasure. The Captain of their ship, the Maru, had given it to him three days out of port. They’d been heading for Easter Island, which Albert thought was going to be and island full of bunnies. Sadly, it was anything but. There were sheep, which he thought was sort of Easter-ish and a lot of rocks, which were not. Albert had been many places but this was the strangest. He was thankful for his spyglass, which he fingered again.

He’d gotten it because he’d been bored on the ship, always asking
