"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 ~ X.L.S. - Extra Large Spiders

"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.
