She heard the sound children laughing, preschool children. It was the kindergarten group that went by the field to play every afternoon after school. She heard them playing and having fun, she heard it from the other side of the bushes. She heard them talking and laughing out loud. They were right here, near her.

"What is that?"
Another said:
"I don't know, but I want to go see!"
They were getting closer and closer to her hiding spot. She got nervous and started to sweat, wondering what they would say if they found out that she was lying here. Jen closed her eyes, expecting the worst.
Until one of the children said:
"What is that?"
