7and8

I sat at my breakfast table drinking my (hot) coffee and reading the paper when a movement in the woods caught my eye. The sun was behind the woods so everything therein was a silhouette. The movement came from a humanoid figure towering 5'6". The lumbering gait and arms hanging as if too much muscle prevented them from being any closer to the body than one foot. Chills ran down my spine as I tried to remember where my camera could be. Small trees began to be heaved from its path as it moved closer. Then the most unexpected thing caught my eye. This mythical creature revealed it had on a blue t-shirt and was going back to the yard it had come through to get more yard waste and dispose of it in the woods.

Beware kids, compost or Sasquatch will do it for you.


BTW the preceding anecdote was a dramatization. It turned out to be my neighbor, Frank, clearing branches felled by a storm from his lawn before mowing.
