Scary things under buckets in the snow

[DocAElstein]

I lifted an upside down bucket out of the snow last night, and this scary thing greeted me!
On closer inspection it seems to have a very healthy set of teeth, and seemed to be eating a leaf at the time, so I put the bucket back incase it might want to eat something bigger. It was still there this morning, I expect he will be for a few months…

Aha! Das gruselige Untereimerding!

I never realised we had those things here, waiting to appear…. Or maybe it’s a lost soul from a magicians vanishing trick that went wrong – He put his upside down cup on the table and the thing disappeared, but he didn’t bring it back

Or it might be something like those Gremlin things. I am scared to do anything with it, or go near any other buckets, in case all the snow turns into them. I think I will leave it alone. Maybe it’s time to best forget outside activities now the snow is here and stay warm and safe inside until the Spring. (Maybe stack some bricks on all the buckets, just to be on the safe side).
