One day...

Am I crazy? What will they make of this? Truth be told, I can't tell. It is Friday, the 17th of March. At 11:44am. I document this moment, because this is the moment I lost my bearings.

Most of the time when people say they lose their bearings they mean they're physically lost. They don't know where they're headed and they don't know where they've been. I on the other hand am astounded... befuddled... amused? I don't even know what words work with this type of discovery.

You see I was walking along in the precarious way I do, and mind you I was inebriated. I have an extensive piece of land and to reach my home quickly without a car you have to take a few off road turns. My friend had got close from the bar and I had her drop me off. We were out taking pictures and drinking at a bar on a beach. And, with all my pride I thought it good to haul my way back to my house.

I had just turned off trail when I saw it. It was on the edge of the woods in the trail in front of me. I stared at the creature, yes creature I don't know what it was, wide-eyed. Even from a distance I could tell it was larger than I, much larger. It threw its head back and let out a call like a wolf howling at the moon. And then barreled away with sunlight glinting off its tusks and antlers.

I, even in my intoxicated state, had enough sense to snap a picture with my Polaroid. The flash went off and I was blinded for a mere second, and when the blur cleared away the creature was long gone.

I stumbled over to the place where it appeared to leap away and there was no damage to the surrounding foliage by the sleek and furry creature. I sighed with discontent and continued on my way shaking the picture all the while.

At some point I reached my home and collapsed on the coach. Which is where I awoke this morning. I sat there flabbergasted trying to put order to what I saw last night. When I remembered the photo at last I dug around to look for it. 

I found it underneath a glass of water. Lifting it I gasped in horror. In my drunken state I had failed to take a proper photo. It was blurry, and too dark, yet too bright. I moaned aloud seeing I had no hope to prove my sanity. So I reach out to you on this site.

I saw something no man has ever seen before, and I still wander the woods and in hope of finding the creature once more. So promise me, take this tale to heart because it is more true than the fact that humans drink water to survive. One day I will prove my sanity and find the thing and take a proper photo to present, and everyone will know I am telling you the truth. Till then know that if what I saw was possible anything is. There is so much more to this world than we know.
