The creature from somewhere else

     It sat alone and silent. I walked close to it, as I did I realized it had no face. I was terrified it was going to try something, maybe it would kill me, but nothing happened. It just stared, looked at me as if it could see me, maybe it had some strange sense I could not even fathom in my mind, or maybe it could hear me. I don't know. I reached out to touch it, but it moved away. Was it scared? I wasn't sure if I should just leave, or if I should just stand there and stare at the horrifying beast. It was dark and tall, it almost looked like a shadow, a deformed and melted shadow. I decided to leave the cabin I had found in the woods all those years ago, and now I was back.

     I was only fifteen when I first saw that thing. People said I was crazy, maybe I was, but I was determined to prove otherwise. So I brought a group of my closest friends, with cameras and flash lights. When we arrived, my friends were in shock that I didn't lie about the cabin. They were still skeptical about the whole monster thing, but we were here, and I was ready to prove to them I wasn't crazy.

     We walked into the cabin; it was darker than I remembered. Were we in the right place? was I crazy after all? did the whole thing just play out in my head? No, that couldn't be, I refused to believe it. Then, I saw it the creature from all those years ago. I had a sense of terror, but also happiness like I had befriended the beast I was so terrified of when I was young. We filmed it, we stayed for a while, my friends had the same first reaction to it as I did, but for me it was different, I felt it's happiness like it was excited  to know me again, to know I came back.

I felt I had a friend a true friend, but one that wasn't from this place called Earth.
