Mysterious Man

Hurriedly, silently, in purposeful fluid movements and long, determined strides, he dashed among the thickets, bending and darting amidst the vines searching for a perfect little place to stay and hide. Stealthily and noiselessly he slithered underneath lush, leafy overhangs shielding him from the sun - keen, cautious, like a crouching, hungry predator anxious not to draw unwanted attention to himself. The birds on treetops hushed their singing in haste as the woods turned suddenly still - frozen in place, shocked, stunned and unprepared to bear witness to the mysterious man’s strange, diabolical scheme. He threw a quick look to his left and another to the right then jerked, turning his head around to make doubly sure that no human soul finds him in this quiet, secluded place about to carry out his dark, sinister and unplanned crime. Taking a deep, measured breath and now totally reassured of being truly alone, away from prying eyes to a gory crime, in his madness he violently yanked down his old Levi jeans, squatted to the ground, grimacing, and…ahh, sweet release!
