Bent Nail by the Shed

A bent nail winked from the dust by the shed.

Spike soft-eyed the bend. Not magic. A mark from a hammer miss.

Suzy found wood shavings and a soft scuff toward the workbench.

Clue two: a dropped washer near the same dust.

They did not invent a culprit. They gathered three clues.

Adventure Cap wanted a magic answer. Thinking Cap said gather clues.

Tools remind — never magic-solve. Cap-13 freeze holds.

Suzy spelled S-U-Z-Y once for courage, then back to the clues.

Pathway detective: look, list, finish the click.

Finish click: set the nail in the tin and latch the bench soft.

Clues gathered. Nail set soft. Finish click.

Clues gathered. Nail set soft. Finish click.
