Living in the south we are used to long warm days and shorter nights. Then we started to notice that the days started to come later. During the night we noticed there were tracks that were not normal for animals in the area. One morning local fisherman came to the cafe I owned startled saying they saw something in the darkness.
I pointed to the booth in the back of the cafe and said, "Mitch what is going on?"
He grabbed my hand and said, "Kay, I was on the boat about a hundred feet from shore, and there was something dark walking along the shore."
"What did you see Mitch?" I asked.
A voice behind me said, "It does not have a name. Our people know it as the unspoken ones."
Looking behind me I said, "Chief Maylay what brings you to the cafe?"
"Hello Kay," He said. "I heard Mitch saw something that should be buried deep in the earth and is now walking among us."
Rubbing the bridge of my nose, I said, "Are you saying there is something worse than a walking people pedestrian out there."
He looked at me and said, "Walking people pedestrian? What in the world."
He sat across from Mitch and I poured him a cup of coffee as he said, "You mean a---"
"No need to say it," I said. "We do not use that unless we have to."
