Human Prey

My way down the path was blocked by an unseen obstacle. It stopped me but it wasn’t there. I could feel it but I couldn’t see it.

I stepped back and reached out as the tingle dangled across the back of my hand. I could feel the force in the empty space.

The invisible wire stretching across two bushes was swinging gently carrying its load wondering what would happen next. It was so delicate it seemed cruel to break it so I could continue.

My dilemma was whether it would trap me and wrap me in my own spider gate.
