Mysterious Fog On the Beach
DOWN BY THE OCEAN
ON A HALLOWEEN NIGHT.
A THREE QUARTERS MOON
WAS PROVIDING SOME LIGHT.
AND FROM OUT OF NOWHERE
A VERY STRANGE SMELL.
I CAN ONLY DESCRIBE
AS AN ODER FROM HELL.
A FOG ROLLED IN
AND VERY QUICK.
IT WAS SO HARD TO SEE
BECAUSE THE FOG WAS SO THICK.
IT WAS MORE LIKE DEATH.
THAT SMELL WAS SO STRONG.
I TOLD MYSELF
I DON'T BELONG.
THE FOG BECAME DENSE
IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE.
I HAD NO IDEAL
WHAT WAS IN FRONT OF ME.
THE INCOMING TIDE
HAD TO BE NEAR.
THAT ONLY ADDED
TO MY ALREADY FEARS.
AND THEN FOR A MINUTE
THE MOONLIGHT POKED THROUGH
AND WHAT I SAW
IS WHAT I'M TELLING YOU.
LIZARD LIKE CREATURES
BIGGER THAN ME.
CAME UP FROM THE SAND
AND WALKED INTO THE SEA.
NOW I KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING
IS HARD TO BELIEVE.
I'M JUST SO THANKFUL
THEY DIDN'T SEE ME.
