Twelve Marks, One Gate

Twelve scuff marks toward one gate waited like a quiet question.

Spike soft-eyed the mark. Not magic. A real farm clue.

Suzy found a second mark nearby and a soft scuff toward the job.

Clue two and clue three lined up without a magic story.

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. Cap cattle stay farm characters.

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

Pathway detective: look, list, finish the click.

Finish click: Follow the marks. Latch the gate. Finish the click.

Follow the marks. Latch the gate. Finish the click.

Follow the marks. Latch the gate. Finish the click.
