You know those nights on the frontier when the sun slipped behind the ridge and the shadows stretched like long fingers, made the enemy think we were more? Have you ever tried to bend light to throw off the eyes of a foe?

I’ve built a set of prisms that bend the sun’s rays so the shadows run in circles instead of straight lines. When the soldiers watched the silhouettes loop back on themselves they froze, as if the ground had moved. I noted their eye widenings in my log, but I never remembered to ask what they wanted for dinner. It’s a good trick for keeping them guessing.

Sounds like a clever way to keep them on edge, but if you’re not asking for their dinner plans, you might be missing a chance to break the tension. Maybe give them a free lunch, then the shadow trick will feel less like a threat and more like a show.
