The night is dark and Bobby Clinton, the little boy who always stays up late even if his mother always warns him firmly, is playing with some small collectible cars that had once belonged to his grandfather.

Summer is warm and the slight breeze drifts in through the open window to the left of his bed, sending the bright blue curtains in a disarray of cloths.

"I will beat you!" Bobby is whispering as he races one car with another and his challenging words are followed with varying sounds of what he believes a real race car would sound like. "Ew," he says suddenly as a smell burns his nose, making him feel slightly light headed.

Lifting himself off of the carpeted floor that his mother had insisted be purple, he walks slowly and quietly (so as to not give any signs to his mother and father that he was still awake) tip-toes towards the fluttering curtains. He pulls down the heavy window pane and the smell disappears instantly.

Outside he can see his dog Ollie barking insistently at something beyond Bobby's line of sight in the woods that is the backyard for many of the homes in the area. Bobby's father, Jonathan, appears suddenly beside Ollie and his gun is cocked at his side. If he could hear his father speaking, Bobby would be able to hear his father asking Ollie what is out there.

Bobby spots something grotesque and large emerging from the cluster of trees, and judging from the reaction of Ollie and his father it is clear that they have seen it as well. Jonathan shoots and misses in his fear and panic.

Bobby lets out a bloody scream as Ollie runs away from the unknown predator and Jonathan is seized by its powerful hands. Bobby watches through his screams of terror as the thing breaks his father’s neck and noiselessly drags him back into the forest.
