An except from the story: words by Damon Mahoney

Far away, on the opposite end of the park there was a shack on the ground behind several old sycamore trees. The shack was dirty and rough looking, but very well disguised from sight. It had been erected for some time, but neither Hedgehog boy nor Kitty was aware of its existence.
From this window, in the tree shack that overlooked the park, there was a pair of eyes that watched unseen. The eyes were very sharp and intelligent, like two pieces of flint. They missed nothing and were always observing the activities in the park. These eyes had many times seen Hedgehog boy and Kitty walking and playing, and the owner of these eyes had followed the two boys to their tree house on the other side of the park.
The eyes belonged to Possum, one of two boys who lived in the shack. Possum was very tall, thin and wiry. He had long fingers and legs that gave him a nimble, dance like quality when he moved. His face would have been handsome to look at, but the expression in his eyes made him look more cruel than attractive. He was very crafty, ruthless and conniving.
