On my late afternoon stroll outside near the lake my attention was quickly stolen by a foreign creature. The sun was bright but exiting the horizon and the wind was blowing just soft enough for it to breeze through my hair and stroke my face. It’s the middle of spring so the flowers are in their full bloom. Bright colors surrounding me from every angle. Now this creature was sitting near the side of the lake with its back towards me. It looked to be about three feet tall and not even a foot wide. I could see its entire spine along the hunch of its back. Its skin was a light grey with a slimey texture to it. The creature looked other-worldly. “Maybe it’s some type of skinned animal” I quietly thought to myself. As I took a step forward to get a better view of it, my foot stepped on a broken tree branch. I swear it was louder than the sound of a real bone snapping. When the creature immediately turned its neck around to see look at me. I jumped back in fear, fear of the unknown. The creature had a head but exhibited no features on it. No mouth, no eyes or ears. It was just a blank silver canvas. It sent me running back towards my little cottage, never looking back. I had no idea what that thing was, all I knew was that it was some type of wild creature that needed to be caged. So I immediately picked up the phone to call our local exterminator.
