A 100 word story (#ZapfFic100) written by Bruce @felt.buzz, inspired by the random word prompt "base"

In order to take over the world Heather needs a secret base to organise her troops. An island in the middle of the ocean, perhaps.
Giles says his dad has a shed at the bottom of the garden. Would that do? They'll need to clear out the junk and evict the spiders.
Amy suggests they keep them: create an army of arachnids. Heather likes the sound of that but Giles says it won't work. They don't work well in teams, he says.
Heather's mum calls her in for tea. She's hungry, so world domination will have to wait another day.

"...to wait for another day"? They should remember that "... he who fights and runs away, lives to fight another day." That's remembering Bob Marley.
