"Receive your surprise bag for just four bucks
                                   too good - to go"... I couldn't resist

                                 Maybe something to please the palate
                             a little chocolate now and then doesn't harm
                          The bag was made of brown paper as most bags
                                           with a black logo : X.L.S.

                               I grabbed my bag and smiled as I walked
                               but, the merry mask was quickly removed
                             My purchase did not deliver what I imagined

                             The exciting bag for just four bucks contained
                               hairy spiders, with eight legs and four eyes
                                            
                                          - Impossible to neglect
                                               ... I went on the glue stick

                                                       ~

"A Bag With X-L-S" is a creative write. Did you ask for your money back??? No scary spiders for me. Enjoy your day writing away..................

With masterful skill, Anne-Lise, you artfully conveyed your astute observations through stunning imagery. Your clever approach to the contest, XLS, is a testament to your literary prowess. The unnerving nature of the extra-large picture only adds to the overall impact of your work.

XLS, such a clever take on the contest. That extra large pic is creepy indeed, too.
