As I arrive home from football practice, it was just a normal night, all the neighbors are headed inside.That’s when I see a figure in the distance and it has a human figure to it with beady red eyes, and it has a strange aura around it.

Later on at the game, it was now fourth quarter and we were down a single touchdown. There is thirty seconds left on the clock, we’re at the goal line.
