Account

The guest and his mother were driving home slowly after their newspaper route when headlights caught a creature running through a field. It stopped by the roadside very close to the car and stared at them with eyeshine while holding a watermelon. After they passed, his mother sped away and both confirmed they saw the same human-like, muscular being.
