(Sunshine...before reading this...be sure you're alone...and turn out all your lights...except for the ONE light you need...to read this...)
And so, it begins...
It was a dark and stormy night...not one fit for man nor beast, and we were getting dangerously low on gas...when, after a few more miles and not a gas station in sight, I decided we had to stop the car in order to check the map again...
but there was no doubt about it, we were lost. Becky and I had been on our way to the East coast for a spring break...a vacation we were soon going to regret ever deciding to take.
We were somewhere in Texas, I think...but where exactly?
The car came to a stop on a road, somewhere, someplace that I couldn't find on any of my maps..."Where are we? asked Becky..."I don't like this place...it's too scary" She said. Trying to reassure her, I attempted to make a joke out of our situation...
"Shhh! Becky, be quiet! Listen!" "What was that?" I asked. "WHAT?" she asked me, her voice beginning to shake a bit. "That thing, didn't you see it? It just passed right in front of the car, it was...I don't know what it was...Bigfoot maybe?" Becky, not sure if I was serious or not replied, (1)"That was NOT Bigfoot...don't be ridiculous, you're just trying to scare me....aren't you...well, aren't you?"
But, what she didn't know was that I really thought I saw something moving, there in front of our car...but, I just wasn't sure. I just didn't want her to worry, to feel how I was beginning to feel.
"Ok...Becky, now (3)let's not. Let's not. What's the word? Let's not panic! ok?" "Ok!" she answered, her eyes were wide open now, I could see she really wasn't sure if I was joking, or not. (6)"Okay, that's it. I WANT MY MOMMY!!!" she said. "Your mommy? Your mommy is 300 miles back the way we came and Becky...?" "What now?" she asked, "can't you just get us out of this place?" "I'm tryin' Becky...I'm tryin", I just need to figure out where we are."
The cool, night air rushed in as I opened the car door...the rain was falling a little harder now...lightning flashes revealed nothing in their light...just trees, all around us...trees and wilderness...and nothingness.
"Becky, listen...I'll be right back, ok? (4)all I need is 10 lousy minutes to look around and try and find out where we are." "I need to go take a look around." I said..."Wait here!"
"NO!...don't you leave me here alone....I don't like this place and we don't know what that was before...yes, I saw it...I saw it too." "Something was moving around out there." she said with a trembling voice. She was looking out her window, trying to see something, anything but, it was just too dark.
"What was that your brother told you before we left?" Becky asked, "stay on the main roads? try not to get lost?...(5) better safe than sorry, dude." "Didn't he tell you that?" "And now, and now... look at us, we're lost, out in the middle of nowhere."
"Shhh! Becky, be quiet...listen!"
Suddenly, there WAS a noise! Like something...or some ONE...out there, in the bushes...as if watching....waiting...
hearing everything Becky and I were saying...
Whatever "IT" was, it had to sense our fear...because we were both scared.
I slowly got out of the car...Becky, I think, was right behind me. I stopped suddenly...froze...it was quiet, way TOO quiet...and then, I felt it...(2)"That better be your hand on my shoulder." I said as I turned, expecting to see Becky. But...wait! no one was there, only darkness...only quiet...Becky was nowhere to be seen, she was gone...vanished.
"BECKY!" I shouted..."BECKY!"....now it was I who was starting to panic, it was I who was starting to show fear, it was I whose voice was beginning to tremble.
Just then....there, there she was, I saw her...as she stepped in front of my flashlight...she said, "Here I am silly." "...and look, there's a light...see it? over there ...let's go, let's go toward the light...maybe it's a gas station or someplace we can get some help". She grabbed me by the hand and starting pulling me along with her.
Becky was right, I had missed it...it looked like perhaps the main road that we had wandered off of....but, I couldn't be sure. So we walked...slowly at first...then faster as we both realized we had not answered the question we had asked ourselves before. "What was that out there in the darkness?...what did we see...what was watching us?"
I didn't know it...but I had said that out loud, not realizing Becky could hear me.
"I don't know what it was," she said, " but let's just get away from here...let's get away from this awful place!"
We began to walk...faster, a little faster, and then...we were running, running toward that light...that strange glowing in the darkness ahead. But a light from where? From WHAT? According to my map, this place didn't exist...where were we heading, what was...what was that, that place up ahead?
We were about to find out...about to discover...
the truth, the awful bloody truth...about that light...
"that light up ahead!" (to be cont'd??)

Julius and Rachel were close friends, both eight years old, and they were together on a walk to a nearby river. It was dusk. A dove cooed while the trees rustled in the wind. The two were walking silently on the dirt road, surrounded by old, abandoned houses. Something large in the far distance scurried across the road.
"Bigfoot!" Rachel gasped, remembering the legends that had been spoken about at school.
"That was NOT Bigfoot....don't be ridiculous," Julius said calmly. To Rachel, Julius always was without fear or insecurity.
"What do you think that was, then?"
"Well, it was a blur; I could not say specifically, but it is not Bigfoot. Bigfoot is an urban legend." Julius stated.
Rachel felt ease come upon her again. They continued their stroll, which seemed to last a lifetime. Finally, they reached the slowly moving waters. Julius sat down at a tree near the river, while Rachel strayed into brush.
Rachel reached a point where Julius was no longer in sight. She was admiring the red sky when a sudden pressure came upon her shoulder. "That better be your hand on my shoulder!" she said nervously.
"It is," Julius said, looking in Rachel's eyes intently. Rachel was bewildered.
"How did you catch up with me so quickly?"
A gunshot was heard within close range. Rachel put her hand over her mouth. Then she released it, whispering, "Let's not--let's not--what's the word? Let's not panic!"
"All I need is 10 lousy minutes," a voice called out in a Southern drawl, "to shoot them fellas."
"Someone is after us! I thought we crossed into private property! What are we going to do?" Rachel lowly spoke in a frenzied voice.
"Rachel, do not be afraid. He wouldn't shoot young children like us without hesitating. He would understand that we made a mistake, if this IS private property. Let's make ourselves known," Julius reasoned.
"No! Better safe than sorry, dude," Rachel said, attempting to be casual, trying to hide her despair. Her eyes began to get wet as her heart was full of fright.
"Rachel, listen to me. I really don't think we have entered private property in the first place."
Leaves were heard crushing under feet meters away. Rachel began spinning around, looking for that man that was heard earlier. "Okay, that's it. I WANT MY MOMMY!!!" she cried.
