Scarecrow People

Jul 21st, 2010 by thegooddoctor in 100 Words

Joey always hated the scarecrow people, especially when everyone else welcomed them. They’ll keep the birds away, people said, and tend to the crops. Scarecrows are made to work in the fields. It’s their nature.

But Joey asked the tough questions. Where did they come from? How do they talk without a mouth? When people started dying, it was Joey who led the mob that burnt all the scarecrow people like so much dry straw.

When the truth came out, and Bill Bates turned out to be a serial killer, Joey refused to feel remorse. They were still better off.
