its normal here

ok its back

I was taking a shower the other day and the power went off like three separate times

damn have to boot up everything now.

I once was out at an old military base with friends

there were these huge light towers

with a large circle of light underneath them.

So we were just shooting the shit and fucking around, so suddenly they all go out and we hear this running sound like a hundred boots running at us.

but its pitch black

so we start running toward my friends pickup and they're right on out heels

we could hear their heavy breathing from flat out running

that's harsh dude

I've never had anything that aggressive before

I've been in a lot of scary situations, but that raised the hairs on my neck

Now you're thinking what is behind you and your heart is hammering in your throat

but you dare not look back

I had a similar thing happen at my grandfather's farm

he had this stupid pumphouse that was out about 2 miles into the plantation

no lights at all

and each time he relished in sending us to go turn it off

I swear he got the neighbours to scare me while I ran back to the house, but the breathing of whatever was chasing me sounded canine

I want to say that there's a coyote but coyotes are usually skittish little things

Like you hear the corn leaves rustling and see them move just a littke

but you're running so you can't say which and every row on your sides that you pass seems open until you see a dark one and you just have to run even faster

coyote yips are pretty unmistakeable

I mean if it's actually chasing you then there's no way that's a coyote

corn field monocultures are unnatural in that the duplicity completely confuses your direction ability

You ever heard a mountain lion luring you?

no I've never encountered a cougar up here

iirc they don't show up in ohio that often

It sounds just like a little child, just before it sinks its jaw on the base of your back of your skull, and it has evolved to perfectly take us out by the head from behind.

They will actually play with you and lure you out until you're so scared you're shooting into the night randomly.

yep that's pretty terrifying

They love eating human children

their paws are strong enough to break your back with a single swipe.

but its nothing compared to the african lion.

and we all just kinda live with it

Have you ever seen a bigfoot?

I think they exist
