It was about 3 feet tall. It had the body and legs of a dinosaur and its face resembled a mean gremlin. It had no tail and it had no hair, but it had big crocodile teeth.
Here we were trying to transport this mother fucker with a 1994 Ford Aspire and a full sized van with a camper behind it. It was a simple, we kept the monster in between the two vehicles and drove it like cattle ranchers. It wasn't the best way to transport it, but we didn't have the means to cage it.
A few times the monster would catch the scent of a nearby dog or a squirrel and go off on a tangeant. We would stop our vehicles and beat at the thing with rocks and sticks until it was satisfied with its kill and returned back to the line of the vehicles. We thought we had control, but we were wrong. It got away. It was half expected in the beginning that this would happen, but once our plan was put into effect and seemed to be working we fell into a false comfort. We underestimated him. We searched all day but eventually we had to give up.
We took a logging trail and parked at our home sweet home. It was nothing more then a clearing in the woods which we had rented. We had neighbors, our neighbors had shacks and trailor homes in clearings they had rented. It felt like a backwoods community.
Someone had made a fire in the firering and I walked over to pour my first drink. As I poured three fingers of cheap vodka into a plastic cup I looked around at my surroundings. Life wasn't bad out here. Sure I miss some of the conveniences of the city, but there is nothing I would give for this freedom. I finished pouring the soda into the cup and sat down in front of the fire.
Two cups later and I saw the beast again. Well, I didn't see it as much as heard it. I got up from my chair and ran into the woods after it. It had the ability to turn invisible at dawn. It could blend right in with its surroundings like a tree frog, but it changed much quicker, instantly. I heard sounds all around me, I couldn't decern which way he was coming from or if I was even hearing him at all. It stopped, it just stopped and he was gone.
I noticed where I was now. I was standing on the edge of our neighbors clearing. They made it bold to us when we moved in that this was unacceptable; we were to keep to ourselves. The next thing I saw were three guys coming towards me with mean intentions. I ran, I didn't want to stay and see if the ugly one wanted to use his shotgun.
I felt safe when I made it back to camp until I heard that they were still on my trail. I turned to look and got struck in the face and thrown to the ground. "We told you not to come over on our property," the younger one yelled. I could see now the ugly mother fucker must have been the father of these other two. Normally I would have disregarded the punch and taken his words to heart and maybe even actually apologized to them, but not today. I came back up with all I could muster and hit the big one square in the jaw. I knew it landed well because I could see he was slightly shaken by the look in his eyes. It wasn't enough.
I picked myself back up as they started walking away. I was a little bloodied and bruised but it wasn't that bad. I think they held back, maybe they felt sorry for me. I got up and started pouring myself a drink. I yelled out to them, "Won't you at least stay for a drink?"
I can't remember the last time that I had real friends. My life was confined to my family and the monster for the last two years. It felt good to be drinking with these people and they seemed to know how to have a good time.
I went back into the camper to get more vodka and then I saw her sitting there playing cards. She was wearing tight short shorts which showed off her long legs, she had medium blonde hair, and the
most beautiful face I had ever seen. She was quiet. She didn't smile or talk much with the others and so I fell in love.
I walked outside to ask BigPa for a couple beers. I had drank my vodka and needed a handout. I got the feeling that he had formed a sense of respect for me for hitting him or maybe it was because I offered him a drink after my beating. It didn't matter, I knew he liked me for one reason or another. I wandered around and chatted for a bit with my neighbors, then I walked back inside. I saw BigPa sitting next to the girl now and realized it was his daughter.
I wanted to make my intentions known to BigPa right away so I sat down real close to her. I told her it was a great name using some line from a movie that I loved to setup and recite. BigPa realized that I wasn't just asking about her name now. He said with a smile, "Sit on this side of me buddy." I immediately did.
We played cards into the night until BigPa decided to call it a night. Now it was just her, a cousin, and me. The cards got boring an hour ago and there was nothing left to do until the cousin pulled out a dime bag and started smoking it out of a small pipe.
I said to the cousin, "Be careful, don't let my grandma catch you with that shit."
"Don't worry man, she won't." He passed the pipe to the girl.
I don't remember anything else from last night. I have a feeling I am going to like it here.
