Hey guys! This is a story I've been writing for quite a while (started in 2012!). It is a bit different than you might expect. The story is set in modern times and is in journal format. The main character, Alex Harding, is a 15 year old teenager. He can have a good bit of paranoia from time-to-time. Alex starts to hear things and then makes a journal about these encounters. I'm going to include the first 5 Entries of the story. If you'd like to read the rest of the story, both parts are on my Fanfic account (Link)! (Also note that these first couple of entries are smaller than later on in the series). Thanks for reading this! Enjoy!  _____________________________________ The Mysterious Encounters of Alex Harding Introduction Hello all! If you are reading this I probably decided to share this with someone. The following is a bunch of journal entries I made when I started to have suspicions of “the creatures” (that's how I refer to them a lot in this book). Before all this happened, I just thought I was living a normal life in a normal town (as many would think). Of course, I later find out that my town wasn't so normal after all. It wasn't the people, but it was definitely something living there. You're probably wondering what these creatures are and (depending on if you live in my hometown) if you should be careful when roaming the forest at night. Firstly, I want the reader (that would be you) to experience the things I experienced throughout the production of these journal entries. Secondly, I have confirmed that you don't need to worry about these creatures. They aren't hostile. Given that you don't point a machete in their face. That makes them mad. As I mentioned previously, I started these entries when I became paranoid enough to start writing them. There wasn't much I could have said before I started the journal. In these first few entries, it may seem uneventful, but try to notice how I seem to be losing my mind with each sequential entry. I start to calm down later on, but I was really anxious back then. I hope you enjoy reading about this discovery of mine. If I gave this to you, I probably really trust you enough that you won't tell anyone else about this. Something like this should not get out to the public. So please don't share this with anyone if I haven't told you in person. Entry 1 - November 5, 2012 Well, things have gone strange enough to where I've actually started a journal to write about all the things that have happened today. Where do I start? It started tonight. I was taking out the trash (as I usually do) and started to hear some things. I didn't know what it was. I then heard a tree shake. I didn't see anything in the trees. I thought I was just imagining things, but then I heard another tree shake. This time, it was closer. I hurried back into my house. I could have sworn I heard some other strange noise as I rushed away. All I know is that I've been getting some strange “vibes” lately. I know I'm not one to freak out or anything, but I could just sense something wasn't right. I guess I just need to sleep on this and see if it's not fatigue. Entry 2 – November 7, 2012 Okay, I thought I was doing fine until I did some investigating today. I went into my backyard curiously and saw that some of our trees have broken or missing branches. I don't remember any kind of storm coming through our town. Something must have done that. I don't think the trees are very old either. I just keep thinking back to a few days ago when I heard the strange noises and the trees shaking. I don't know what's going on and I really don't like it. Entry 3 – November 8, 2012 Tonight, I went outside to take out the trash a bit more prepared. If I heard anything, I would use the flashlight I brought with me. I slowly entered my backyard and looked around nervously. Nothing it seemed, but then the noises started again and the trees started to shake. This is when I turned on my flashlight and shined the light into the trees. I couldn't see anything. The noises and the trees stopped. Whatever this thing is, it doesn't want to be seen. Well, that just adds to my paranoia. I might have to do some investigating in the woods. I might setup base in my old tree-house. I haven't really done anything in there for a while. Entry 4 – October 9, 2012 Today, I was able to re-discover my tree-house as I left it last. It has been a while since I've been up there. All the vines and old leaves confirmed this. My tree-house was built between two large trees. I'm thinking they are the biggest ones in our yard. Inside, I have a desk (where this entry is being written right now!) and an old desk chair that my parents didn't have any use for. Later on in my tree-house's life, my father and I added a deck facing towards our house. I might not be able to go on a stakeout tonight due to some other plans of mine (more like plans of my parents). I will try to plan a stakeout sometime tomorrow night (or the night after that). I guess it will depend if I still have the courage when it is time to do so. Entry 5 – October 10, 2012 Well, I'm not sure if my stakeout was successful or not. I think I was a bit closer to the “creature” (or whatever it is) than last time. At least I was able to do it tonight and not tomorrow night. I tried to prepare for the worst. Now that I think about it, I wasn't as prepared as I could have been. Before it got dark out, I brought a bunch of stuff to my tree-house. I made a few trips back and forth between my house and the tree-house. I felt like I was getting ready for a sleep over, but by myself. I brought a sleeping bag and a pillow, which I later decided not to use after an incident (more details on that later). I took some food and drinks with me. I did think through what I was bringing. I made sure not to bring anything with loud packaging (like bags of chips and cans of soda), just in case the creature would be nearby. When the sun finally set, I was up in the tree-house, determined to wait and listen for any strange noises that I heard before. Time went by and not much had happened. I snacked a bit while waiting. Suddenly, I heard some leaves crunching outside. It was from a tree nearby. I mentally questioned myself if I was prepared to get close to this thing. I decided I wasn't gonna run away now. So I just waited for more sounds. There was a few minutes of delay before the sound of another, closer tree shaking. I wanted to wait and see if it would get closer. The problem was it did get closer, it was on one of the two trees that held my tree-house off the ground. The room was shaking a bit. Stuff on my desk was moving around. I had to fumble around to pick up my flashlight. I thought the only thing left to do is to see if I could get a glimpse of this creature. I went out onto the deck and shown my flashlight into the two trees. I could have sworn that I saw something, but couldn't really confirm anything. Out of no where, something hits me on my forehead. It left a good size cut with it. I don't know if it was something from the tree or if it was deliberate from the creature. After receiving injury, I had to go back to my house to fix the cut. I might have scared off the creature when I yelled with pain. I really didn't pay attention. I needed to make sure I didn't require stitches or anything. Lucky for me, I didn't. It was only a minor cut. Thank goodness. I'll have to look around and see if I can find the thing that hit me. Shouldn't be too hard to find. It should have a bit of blood on it. I would really like to know what it was. With all the previous events, I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't an object from the tree. |
