A roadside encounter with a police officer, retold

I was out & about today, hate driving but I had to get rent ready. reminded me of something!

It reminded me of the time when I was younger but old enough to drive.

I had 455 rocket! that cars tires could not, not… slip if it was even slightly wet, or raining!

Anywho! I pull up to a two lanes… same way town double roadway.

At light front row parking! :star_struck:

A police officer pulls up right next to me. :sweat_smile:

I look to see, & notce he is a cop, he nods “in a manner saying nice ride!” I nod back, then my darker sense of humor kicks in, & start trying to look guilty of something. :innocent:

He realizes I am being weird all the sudden, so he looks back & i side eye him, & shadily half check if he is still looking too, to make sure he knows something, IS… really off here! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

I finally act like I just noticed he is still noticing, with a surprized face, I nod again, he nods back!:open_mouth:

Then the trouble begins! I side nod towards the light & nod yes?, while looking him in the eyes! :smiling_face_with_horns:

He shakes his head no?!, :angry_face_with_horns:

So I hold the brake & rev the engine enough the car tilts to one side a bit. :smiling_face_with_horns:

So he wags his finger too now, Nooo!! :angry_face_with_horns: :angry_face_with_horns:

I shake my head again Yeees!! & rev again! :smiling_face_with_horns: :smiling_face_with_horns:

HE looks exasperated, then I can tell his adreniline kicks in to get ready for trouble.

Cause he gives that well you know… look & grips is steering wheel better with his gloves! :face_exhaling:

I smile knowingly, what this means! :smiley:

He knows, I know! :heart_eyes: :skull_and_crossbones:

I slip it into… neutral very subtle like, & the light changes, So I stomp on the Gas!

He tears off after me, until he reliazes, I didn’t go nowhere yet & hits his brakes, I slip it into gear, then drive slowly away from the light & he lets me pass him! :face_blowing_a_kiss:

it’s not funny, but… :joy:

I am going to hell! ~QS :scream:

In high school, I loved Tom Green. What he did with you as the knowing audience wasn’t really the point; it was the reactions. Normal people trying to get through their day, confronted with something so stupid their brain doesn’t know what to do. That’s all I ever wanted out of comedy.

My parents divorced when I was in seventh grade. Out of that I got a stepbrother, and it was basically the two of us doing Stepbrothers before that movie existed.

We’d take my stepmom’s car and drive around downtown Portland doing bits for people stuck at red lights. Full commitment stuff. We’d be in the middle of this devastating, tearful apology to each other; real heaving sobs and then snap into a jazz hand battle with zero transition. The person in the next lane would look over and have absolutely no idea what they were seeing. Light turns green. We’re gone. They have to carry that with them forever now.

We’d tie yarn to an action figure and drag it behind the car like in Napoleon Dynamite. Every couple blocks we’d reel it in and start arguing about geometry distortions or made up words being as serious as Egon Spengler about it. Then flag someone down on the sidewalk and ask them to hold one end of the string while we measured something. The trick was you had to care about it more than they did.

At some point we invented the phrase “ho hoyt.”

It doesn’t mean anything. I think there was a “Hoyt Bridge” or something we saw and thought the word was funny. But if someone rolls up next to you on your bike, screams GET A HELMET and peels out with “ho hoyt” as a parting shot; you can’t do anything with that. You can’t respond. By the time you even think about it, we’re gone. That was the point.

We weren’t trying to be mean. Just two bored kids who liked being stupid as a fulltime hobby.


So one afternoon we’re out driving around the neighborhood dragging a string of McDonald’s Happy Meal toys behind the car. Little plastic Grimace. A Transformer. A few other things. We’re doing the usual stone faces, slow speed, occasionally stopping to examine the string like researchers.

We come around a bend and there’s a house with a big group of people in the front yard. All in black. Standing around, some holding plates. Very quiet. Very still.

Didn’t register. Nothing ever registered with us. That was sort of the whole problem.

We drove past, screamed HO HOYT, and I chucked the toys out the window. Except I didn’t let go of the string right and the whole thing kind of launched like this little kite of Happy Meal toys arcing across the yard. The tires squealed because my stepbrother hit the gas too hard while turning and the back end swung out a little, and we absolutely did not look like people who had done this on purpose.

A guy in black screamed HEY and started speed walking toward the car with his arms raised like “come at me bro”. Not jogging. Speed walking. Which is worse.

We drove off. But we lived like four blocks away, so we were too scared to go home. We just kept driving. Past our neighborhood, past the developments, into some random part of town we didn’t really know. At some point my stepbrother pulled into a RiteAid parking lot and we just sat there wondering when we could go home without getting caught.

We found out later it was a wake.

Somebody had died, and their family was gathered in the yard, and we’d driven past at fifteen miles an hour screaming gibberish and decorated their lawn with a plastic Grimace.

If anyone’s going to hell, it’s us.

Ho hoyt.

Was watching no free lunch topology video, I fell asleep, Surprize!

I had a dream, me a few people where walking down the an alley street together almost double wide, & a car is coming up from behind us, it has some ruffians in it.

They start to slow down as they get close enough to hop out. One of these people I am walking with yells to them as the pass, not to stop… just keep driving, they keep going instead of stopping, I say you shouldn’t have done that. she says well they kept going didn’t they, I advise her, I know people all to well, they will be back.

She says, well everything happens for a reason, & I can’t disagree with her. we keep walking & notice just before they reach the end of the alley they bust a u, more like a c, at the end of the street cause they used a gas station who’s back parking was completely open/connected to alley, I tell her specifically to go, duck out of sight quickly & everyone else to scatter but cover for her & be seen still while going your ways, & I want to stay to handle them, I chuck my wallet near a fence & into those high weeds.

They finally get turned around, & come back stop, get… out, ask where’s all your tough friends now, & why are they running, & where did that little loud mouth go, I say she had other things to attend, & if you look around you can see they are still a’bout, no running, but going on their tough… ways also. how can I help you out, I am here, I am not running, matter of fact I waited just for you’s… friends! He gets a laugh & so do his friend, & they start stripping things off me & I do not resist.

They take my bookbag, my jacket, & one guy tries to take my shoes, I kick my foot free, I say, i’m keeping those thank you, he says you know people get killed for less, I say… back where i come from, you wanting to find out! He leans back, stands up & they all laugh… but a little more nervously, then… they were arrogantly a minute before.

The lead guy I guess, say dudes got jokes, they laugh abit more comfortable again, but they stay abit back & start going through my bookbag & jacket!

They find a TTI Phamplet in my bag, strange thing is the lettering on it was tall, so you almost didn’t know they were letters at first, unless you paid attention, second strange thing was TT was one word, like normal, but it had a lower case i under the the second T to fit the page & font squared but slightly with shadowed lettering connented to it, like old school S you could make, but not quite that. the i had no shadowing, or 3d’ish effect like ythe other two letters did, it was all done in a almost more brownish, tan on it to spell everything, the phamplet was in a tan white coloring, like it was made out of dots close enough to make TTi, stick out better against those dots being sprinkled everywhere in background. If I have describe it well. I wish I could have krueger ripped it out of my dream to post a pic, it was pretty cool looking over all!

The One guy goes through it & mentions, oh, it’s physics math,

My note: “it is the kind you can have fun with to fill in, printed like normal, but with rounded, bubble’sih like font questions, then as you flip into further back, it tells a bit of history on TTI & some lore it has been involved with, then others fun facts. ya… get it.”

He flips a bit and seem impressed, he then flips back to front, & starts asking if I know answers to any of it, or… if I stole it since it wasn’t filled in yet. I say, I am no math expert but I’ll give it my best, the problems start simple enough, but by the third one down the page, it has gotten a bit harder.

I notice a girl, his girlfriend I assume, gets out of the car finally & she comes over to see, probaly cause she was told to wait in the car, or she knew to. Cause this was suppose to be like something else, & she saw it wasn’t quite that & got bored quickly, & now she is over… hovering his shoulder, I nod at her, she just looks at me blank expressions then the booklet, He asks the first two, I spit numbers out & He asks the third, I hesistate, I have seen this somewhen thinking to myself, he asks for the number… in a way like he is about to get aggresive, she backs away a bit off his shoulder… to give us room, just in case, I say… give me a minute, it isn’t a number if correct, it’s a triangle, well a pyrimid shape, I don’t know the word for it. He seems disappointed, I gave that answer, like he was hoping to catch me up… chucks the phamplet back at me & they just leave & i wake up. So strange, not sure why I had that dream?

Note 2: I did some edits. I always miss mispells & other errors

@Cosmo that’s a wild story. I can’t believe how many batshit crazy stories you shared over the years. It’s unreal.

Keep it up!

So I’m was at work, & i love to harass customers & the girls I work with, in good fun ofc*.

I’m allergic to cats, I can’t have one, but all the girls do & they talk about how they are at times the biggest brats! Taking hair ties & knocking over random struffs.

So… i picked up a small habit, i meow like i am asking a question, & the girls always come to see what tomfoolery I am getting up to, but don’t see yet. so then next they are there & watching as I meow more self assuredly & slide something closer to the edge again. Now they know, & tell me… No!

So I sarcastically meow back & knock it closer to the edge, when they all yell NOOO! I go cat… hay~wire for ever telling this cat… NO! & I meow, like a cat fighting another one, & fling it right off the counter! They all yell at me & then laugh for a while! Then I explain… this is why cat~nip should also be illegal before coming to work. :woman_facepalming:

So I came home & they call to remind me in an overly professional sarcastic voice, & that I had a suspend… I forgot to pay, So I thank them for the courtesy call, we chuckle cause they always put me on speaker phone, so they can all hear & laugh at my antics/reactions. I live around the corner, like a minute drive, so I assure them… I will be right there.

I take four times as long to get there & they are asking what took so long, I tell them I couldn’t find my key & I think I drove home without one. Then I explain how I got lost, while trying to go around a squirrel in the road! They suggest to not get too lost going home! I remind them, if so… it’s not my fault, because they added round~about squirrels… on my road! ~QS

*of course

I was still a younger man when this happened, I was going to the store?,… maybe, it was the first time I was allowed to use my dad’s roomates car, I do not remember why I was using it or what I left for.

Anywho… was on my way back, a man was walking, I pulled over & picked him, one of the first things he asked "do you believe in God… without hesitation my answer “Yes!” I do not remember him well, I just knew after discording abit, he needed to use a phone to reach a friend.

Where it gets interesting, is when I got back… My father & his roomate lost there sh!t, treated him poorly, & wanted to know why I would ever pick up a stranger, especially with someone elses car. He politely tried to deescalate, assured he meant no trouble, & only asked for the kindness of a phone call & only for a moment. then he would go.

This broke my heart. After he left, they railed me for how crazy I am. & asked what would have happened if he killed me? I said it would have been God’s Will! They asked how my death could be God’s Will, & putting myself in that position could ever be intellegent.

I pointed out, I was doing God’s Will by my kindness, it doesn’t matter to me what someone else does with it, God does not judge me according to others actions, He judges me only for mine. So I would have gone straight to heaven, of course this did not please anyone & the real arguing ensued.

They tried to reason well how is letting someone else car get stolen’s, be God’s Will then… I tried to explain my logic, but they either could not, or… would not understand it. i accepted it & what they said verbally, while in my heart… I forgave them for it.

I shave my head!

You know once I was younger a bit, I was ask to comment on skin~heads?

I was like what the fvck does that even mean?, I’m not a skin~head?.. & walked a way.

I grew up in black neighborhoods. i no longer live in them, but I always consider them some of my best friends.

So that same day she asked, I noticed a black guy walking later… I offer to pick him up & he says “No!!!” freaks out & runs away! :flushed_face:

I am moritfied!!!

I think back to what she asked & remember I do have a shaved~head & ask myself… was it the hair?

I find out later that week, that actual skin~heads were in town that day for a convention & a march possibly & that girl was doing TV interviews about them & what they wanted to achieve. ffs! :sweat_smile: #NotADamnSkinHead!

I just look like one on TV… i guess?

She thought I was a skin~head, now that IS some funny… :rofl:

Omg! That poor black guy walking, he proly heard/knew all about the convention, & my dumb azz tries to pick him up! :grimacing: :man_facepalming: My Life… Fvvvck meee! I can only imagine what he must’ve thought I was thinking! :face_vomiting:

No matter my best intentions, no better roads get paved… Swing wide those gate, cuz hell i’m coming! :laughing: :face_exhaling:

So a FedEx truck came over today to give me some of my head~case medicine.

My landlords got a little doggy recently!
Cutest thing.
It’s sweet & full of energy… the most American thing I have seen, it’s like apple pie, fireworks & an American flag… rolled into one cute ball of fur!

Seriously?, She is Super & her Name… Nova! :man_facepalming:

Anyway back to the story! So he pulls up she runs over, he is wearing shorts. :sweat_smile:
She starts jumping on up to say “Hey!” Scratching his legs while he is trying to carry a package!
I come out yelling “Kill!” “KILL!!!” to Nova & he notices what I am saying.

He chuckles a bit as he hands me the package & I apologize immediately about her not being well enough trained “while leaving the meaning ambiguous & open~end still” :zany_face:

Just know, I felt bad leg scratches & a tongue lashing was the best/worst he was gonna get! :laughing:

My landlord came over & yelled at her/Nova for being bad!
“hmmp!”
She’s not bad, at least not nearly bad enough… YET! :rofl:
I’ll get her trained up right eventually! :saluting_face:

I was at work tonight, a gentlemen came in… older but great sense of humor good guy in general! It’s kinda sad tho because he is caring for his wife & she has alzheimer’s & it has gotten so bad in the last three years.

It’s hard on him so I like to make him smile or laugh when I can, to get his mind off how hard it is taking care of someone you love so much… who is like that now.

He brought up a bunch of struff & setsit all on the counter & I rang it all up.

He said hold on & went back to grab one more thing, a big mama’s pickled sausage, he stuck it in his pocket not even realizing he did it, I ask him if he want to pay for that, He asks me pay for what?

My memory wasn’t allowing me to remember what it was called yet, So I wanted to say the thing in your pocket!

But, of course… for the life of me, I couldn’t even remember the word for pocket, so i just blurt out the “ya know, the thing you put in your pants!”

Cue the hilarity & let the true misunderstanding begin!

He says “you mean my penis??!”

“I say fuck it to myself & just go with it, I mean… how much worse can it get”

So I blurt back, “YES! I still haven’t scanned it yet.”

trying to act half serious but smiling hoping he gets the hint.

Then he realizes what i meant!

We both just laugh & laugh, then we both try to act like professionals again & he pulls out his “Big Mama Sausage” :man_facepalming: “ffs I had no clue that was what it is” & drops it on the counter “& so hurre. we go. agurn!”

Oh! you meant my big mama sausage?

He is pan face dead serious & i can tell he now feels kinda bad. I know he wasn’t trying to steal it. He was kind to me when I made mistakes before & over ringing him up, Good dude. He has no reason to feel bad.

So to keep him from feeling bad, I tease him for it & I ask him if he had to flop it out on the counter like that!?!?!

We laugh again, The other girl I work with still hasn’t stopped laughing yet, only slow between enough to hear it all!

We both chuckle a bit more, trying to not laugh at just how funny this all is all becoming.

I scan it & tell he can put his penis back in his pants. He stare at me for a second like you are killing me here, then… we both just giggle like little kids at the craziness, my coworker is still dying laughing at this point,

then a slightly drunk girl comes out of nowhere “the bathroom, I guess” & say, WAIT! No not yet… I wanna see just how Big “Mama’s Sausage” is?

That is it, my co~worker starts snort laughing at just how absurd this is & we all can’t help but lose are shit either for a bit!

except the lady, “she is smiling” but acts like she doesn’t quite get it, or she did she is playing her cards well.

The lady asks “what? was it something I said.” I think she was buzzed & if she is joking too, timing & misunderstanding were everything that made this the best!

The guys says "you are funny, you need to teach that & then he says “I will catch you later my good friend”. I wave back, then we both just smile & shake our heads at what just happened & chuckle to ourselves.

Good times!, Good times… my friends.

Nothing to see here, YET! “still” :alien: :smiling_face_with_horns: :headphone: ~QS

The other morning I woke up & noticed a strange bump. The night before there was lighting & clouds, not thunder, before that a sudden severe strong wind came in those clouds formed from what seemed like nowhere also.

beyond that strangeness. when I finally woke up, becasue i got so tired I could not fight off sleep all the sudden.

I started to move around more noticed the strange bump, after checking it out more, I rolled over towards the tv & I notice the tv was still on, but i couldn’t hear any sound.

I am absolutely sure i am fully awake, as soon as I noticed it had no sound… the sound slowly faded in/faded up! "like the volume was being unmuted & some program slightly allowed the sound to come up to normal volume fairly quick.

I have noticed this strange phenomenon a few times in my life upon waking up.

Normally the sound is still on when i wake up, Or… heck maybe I should say I can hear it still, even in my dreams &… when I wake up!

Has anyone else ever noticed this at all?

Just noting the nights oddness overall. ~QS

Been dragging my feet with this one. I shared some with another patron here, I will share it will you all know.

When I looked up, this place was amazing nothing like i had ever seen before & yet it looked like things from history & the future at the same time?

I came over to her, when I started looking up, the structures were reminiscing of old egypt, huge megalithic blocks, & a bit of roman architecture also. “another place I can’t quite remember also”

We were on an Stone Altar, after saying I wasn’t comfortable with what was happening anymore & I got down & then her also.

I noticed on these beautiful structures, edges & pillar caps “tops & bottoms” was metal like? “like circuits” on every wall that had a wall intersect was lined on the edges with a sort of metal “conductor & made a projector”, from all these metal edges the outline of either pink or purple holographic lines protruded off them over the metal only, inside was like holographic images “inside the wall edges & the limit of the projection to about three inches from wall” that could be interacted with by simply breaking the boundary of the “inner” outer~lines “mainly pink, purple & blue lines” & this system would be able to tell what & where you are touching by breaking the boundary inside the line. no different than touching a graph with your finger & someone was watching you to know where you pointed on it.

These worked just like that. it was such an elegant design & everything was covered in these holographic designs this way.

You could see through the holographs “minimal holographic designs layer in the air” to see these huge stone structures underneath them all. the words were like a form of hieroglyphs like i have never seen either “alien to me” floating in this form of display next to certain things also minimal" , or if I had I would have to see both again at the same time to compare them"

I hope in any way I have made myself clear. I do not know if this was a succubus dream or I was really on another world/place & they have some kind of tech we have never seen!

It was jaw dropping. I have NEVER seen anything like this EVER!

Note edit for more clarity: the colors where “yellow, mainly for words/symbols?”, pink, purple, & “blue”, they may have used all the colors of rgb. but I feel lucky I can remember anything at all.

Note 2: image a megalithic limestone block/square on all it’s edges I could see it had a metal coating.

Then image if you were to take a square block of glass about three inches large then the Limestone, & it is missing it’s bottom, you set this over the the limestone block, then imagine the edges on the this glass was light pink, purple or blue, then imagine the centers of this glass you could see images & interact with them.

Now… just take the glass away but the images & extending edge~lines “pi,pu,bl” still remain & you could still interact with what is inside of them to change what was shown.

The writing was certainly alien to me. You could reach through the images & touch the limestone also.

It was cold, my senses still felt diminished some, as vibrant as this place was… i felt like a I was partially drugged.

The whole structure was underground “i think”.

The whole thing looked like it was made with laser measure & cut precision.

I have no idea how they did such amazing limestone work let alone move such large block also.

I was truly awestruck! the place felt so familiar yet so foreign :exploding_head:~QS

Note 3: There is a guy on YouTube Jess Rowland has two songs!
I can’t determine which is more akin to how I was feeling being there.
The Future Imagery Architecture, or… The Endless Fall of the Infallible See

I felt out of my skin, & it was just… sooo surreal

not same incident, I have my own… tho.

I told a story I would have probably never shared otherwise. But I had the Dogman trail me home one night.

But to that Person I will add this. It was the same house I had the two front doors , open to outside at the time same if you read about that night, while I was rolling a gold & silver coin between my fingers & as soon as the locked together, both doors open also “the outside door was extended under a small roof beyond the house with a door that connected to the house from it, we used it for shoes only/very small entryway” they would lock because the gold one was slightly smaller than the silver they fit perfectly & it became a habit for me to roll them around against each other until they naturally locked together.

This was also the house that "he dragged me out of bed to see what my significant other was up to, I have mentioned that story before. That Story has been removed now & will I not say who, or… what it was about “if you missed it while it was up”

I was coming home from back road between Mayfield area to my home which right next to an auto place & between the road.

A lot of strange things happened in that house. I will consider sharing other things that i have not posted also, for now I do not know if I want to.

I will post the story later, “for sure” but… I will post this info for now.

I took a dirt road through a particular bad set of woods you are never suppose to stop in at night the Dog~Man roams, especially save so on the full moon, it was around the time I was dating her so i know this is the correct timeline. lol


Conversation with Ai to find the exact night it happened.

question between 1997~2000 a serve blizzard, & being -14 below also.

The most likely culprit for an extreme, memorable freeze in that timeframe was the January 2–3, 1999 blizzard. This system dumped 12 to 18 inches of snow over lower Michigan, generating drifts higher than three feet. The arctic blast that immediately trailed the storm pushed regional temperatures deep below zero. A real-time reading of -14°F on a home thermometer or vehicle dashboard in Chums Corner would perfectly match the inland temperature drops during that specific cold wave.

was the moon full out either of those nights

Yes, the moon was 100% full and exceptionally bright during the height of that specific storm. The exact calendar date of the peak Full Moon was Saturday, January 2, 1999, which was the precise night the historic blizzard slammed into Northern Michigan. Because a fresh, heavy snow cover reflects up to 90% of available light (a phenomenon known as high albedo effect), a 100% illuminated full moon shining onto 15+ inches of pristine, windswept snow would have made Chums Corner look almost as bright as daytime. If you looked outside late that night or early the next morning as the cloud cover broke, the glare off the snow drifts would have been intensely clear and vividly illuminated.


it is not accounting for snow drifts but yes, 15 inches early that night sounds about right… so snow drifts were much higher “nearly double or more/up to my knees tops”.

you might note what I posted below also.

If you click the headphones for the easter egg, you will notice in 1997 Buckley Michgan was mentioned by name, if you check the map of Michigan, you will see how close to where i am this happened to me just two years later.

Anyone ever heard of this Character?

I found a video of it!!!

I think it is Ai.

But just in case here is the sword you will need!

  • Yoriichi Tsugikuni:
  • Uses a red-black Nichirin bladeas the most powerful Demon Slayer to have ever existed and the inventor of Breathing Techniques. His blade changes from black to red during combat.

Itis said to shorten your life span, so use it sparingly, “under the pillow… I suggest”
But far better than be caught by this thing “empty handed”, & don’t forget the breathing techniques either… when fighting it!

P.S. Go for the neck! It’s tough as heck, but… you got this! “i beleive in you” :hugs:

ok so this will not be the story I said I would share… as of yet.

This takes precedence, for the last three weeks… on the dirt road back path i take to get to work, a dragonfly has been pulling up beside me more & more, at first we are side~by~side when he pulls up next me, then one day instead of veering off sideways as it flew away.

It starts deciding it is gonna test me!

So it flew in front a little instead of next to my side driver window then veering off.

So i give it a little gas, & catch up, it takes off again faster, I catch up. but it is a bumpy dirt road, i realize I can not win this race on the bumpier parts of this trail.

two weeks of this embarrassment!

I can not just keep losing to this Drag~Racing Dragonfly!

I looked up it’s top~speed (35mph) & it’s constant flight speed is around 10mph.

I think i can take it on the straight aways :sweat_smile:

Any help/advise?,
I want this thing splattered all over my windshield… to teach it a lesson.
“kidding, of course” no windshields, only the… lesson part.

Racers, Start. Your. Engines!!!
:chequered_flag:~QS

Fine “AAGH’s & kicks feet” I will write the story down “Now!” well some, at least. :sweat_smile:

it is middle of winter, late that night… very late

I am in mayfield area~code 49666 “no joke” & taking the backway home.

It has been snowing a lot beforehand, I am pulled over by someone who claims to be a cop “may have just been an undercover time traveler”… who knows? :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

He makes sure i am safe “sober” to go. :face_with_hand_over_mouth:

This will be a night, I shall not… soon forget! :grimacing:

I leave the stop, I pull onto the backroads & start driving I get somewhere along the way “i no longer remember exactly where”

My car battery dies. I suspect for it being so cold? “or the supernatural, or… both?”

I am stuck, the car starts getting very cold, I should not stay in it… so I decide I have to walk home.

I was not wearing a jacket, a shirt maybe or sweater. idk Not enough for 14 below!

if I do not move, I will… freeze to death. :cold_face:

I I get out & start walking towards home. the snow is very deep up to my chins at least & drifts up to my knees.

The snow is hard to walk through through, & it sounds like frick’n styro~foam.

The walking is hard & very slow.

I start to hear other crunching snow… it sounds like another person is walking somewhere also.

I stop & turn my head to where i think the sound is coming from.
But no sound anymore.
I look behind me down the road, just my car “i is sad’s now & i feel like my car is saying do not leave me all alones!?!”

I will not leave you long, be brave for both of us my good car?!. “i love you too car!”

continue rest of story, very soon… :broken_heart:
[insert sewing broken heart “gif” here]

So I am walking again, & after a little bit, I start to hear the crunching off in the distance again, I slow down some to trying to listen, but it seems like every time i slow down… so does it, & this keeps happening like it almost wants me to notice but does not want me to become to freaked out… yet.

So now I am on guard, i know something weird is going on, but it is sooo cold & I can’t just keep stopping for something I do not know when/what… it is?

So I keep going & hearing it, finally it is clearly getting closer… it is off to my left. I am certain of both of these things “now”.

Whatever it is it is staying just back & off far enough I am having trouble catching a it.

I start walking faster, but the snow is deep & it is tiring to lift my feet that high to trudge through the snow faster “it is so cold it is hard to catch my breath as well”.

I finally catch a glimpse, what ever this thing is I can see it, not human, some type of animal… walking on two feet. It is much closer than I was hoping but still far away, I am in a bad situation & whatever it is this is… is why everyone says to never walk the through these woods!

I always thought it was like the stories they joke about when you are still a little kid. “the old house at the end of the road kinda thing to scare you”.

Well this thing is pacing me, i see it again “it is very tall hunched forward a bit & very skinny, but very well built/fit, it’s covered in hair but thin short, I can see it’s skin in places, like it’s side stomach & chest where thinner haired then the rest”

I no longer trying to hide from me as well, I start trying move quicker again, it starts to move closer, then a snow mobile comes through… they do not even ask me if I am ok just keep going. it scares this thing back & away for a bit, I am freaked out & disappointed. I need help… I am cold & tired… I am being stalked & clearly they past my car, clearly i am not dressed for what I am doing, I have to need help.

I feel betrayed. You would leave another person in the woods alone on freezing night, it’s ok. I get it, I try to forgive them & tell myself "you did this to you, whatever happens it is my fault now’ I know the rumors about these woods, you don’t walk in them during the night, you don’t stop your vehicle.

I keep going, it starts getting closer again, another snowmobiler comes from the same direction, and that pushes it back again but not as far, like last time, my adrenaline is off the charts, & it is becoming more bold. it must not want to try to kill me & get caught by someone going by before it can drag me off, this is not just any animal, it thinks before it acts. this scares me even more.

that is all for now. this is not a comfortable story to remember for multiple reasons that night. Will build myself up to finish more soon. Some things I tell just are what they are & but some bring back the emotions I felt & that… was a hard long night.

:headphone: ~QS

I want to take the path the snowmobilers make, but that means I have to get closer to the side it is on.

it would make walking faster but…

I can’t.

I keep walking & it gets very close this time, two snowmobilers pass at the same time “one after the other, to avoid confusion… on what that really meant”

this pushes it back like it is trying to escape being seen at all, I am so grateful , my adrenaline is through the roof, it is probably the only thing keeping me from freezing to death in how unwell i am dressed for any of this.

I take advantage of the tracks that are closer to me this time.

I am almost out, the sun is finally starting to rise, i am sing glories to heaven the whole time, I get to my house, “J” is the only one home… she is freaked out why I am walking in like I am & why she never heard my car. “bad muffler”

I explain what happened. I told no one else, she told everyone later what i said as she tried to help & dragged me around.

I told her I just want to go to bed, I was sooo tired… she said “no!” you can’t warn up in bed if your freezing cold.

You will get sick, or… worse.

She asks me if I knew it was 14 below out?

I didn’t I just knew I was sooo cold! I start to notice the adrenaline wearing off is making me even more tired & I am getting groggy now from walking so hard all night.

she shows me the temp, she makes a bath Tells me to stay near her “do not fall alseep, stay awale” & tell me I need to get in it right now, " i say I can’t
I ask her to go so i can get undressed, she says “I will be near if you need me” don’t close the door I need to make sure you don’t fall asleep. i close it anyway.

I get in the water & scream, it burns like hell, she runs to the door to ask what is wrong, i tell her, it is too hot, you should have used some cold, she tells me through the door… she knew better & only used as cold as it would go, becasue she knew it would still be warmer then my skin was when she took my arm.

I try to get use to how hit the water is & the next few days are a bit of a blur to remember, except everyone I knew heard about the story eventually.
"without without believing the dog man part.

I honestly think had it not been there, to keep pushing me…
i wouldn’t have made it through that night. :man_shrugging: ~QS
