Creepy Tales "The Lion" On a dark stormy night a young lady took a stroll through the local park, it was a short cut to her home in London, as she was progressing she observed a large bolt of lightning she found a gazebo to take shelter in she could wait there until the storm passed, a young man had a similar idea and also entered the gazebo, he was a lecturer at the local university he introduced himself and sat down on the bench, the storm by now appeared settled, so he offered to accompany the young lady, they walked side by side until the man reached his portal to his street, the storm intensified and the lightning was extreme, a huge bang was heard as the girl noticed a lion's statue in the park, she walked on then the lightning worsened, she heard a lion's roar, she heard it again and it was getting closer to her, in panic she begins to run towards her home, moments later she is confronted by a real lion, she panics then runs away from it, there is a large scream and she collapses to the ground. On the following day a park worker notices the girl's body lying next to the stone lion, she was dead. The police arrived and notice she has died of shock. What could have caused this strange event ? Did the girl really see the lion or was it an illusion of her own mind, could she have been struck by lightning. It is a matter of conjecture, an unexplained mystery. What are your thoughts regarding this creepy tale, is truth stranger than fiction, I leave it for you to decide. Author: John Ginesi 9th February 2014
