Unknown Narrator

my chest felt like it was going to burst from the pressure of pure raw panic somehow we ended up on a clearer stretch and the fog lifted it was jarring going from that suffocating blanket to an almost normal road We all took a second to breathe, but the car was filled with this shared dread. Nobody knew what to say. Did we really see something, or was it a trick of light and fog?

One thing was certain. If we did see what we thought we did, we sure as hell wanted no part of it. It wasn't until we got even farther away that words came back to us. Everyone tried to talk at once, each describing a slightly different horror. The driver couldn't shake the image of that transparent, boxy thing near the base of the tree.

The two in the back were still reeling over the creature they were convinced was clinging to the trunk. Personally, I didn't know what to think. All I knew was the road felt more hostile than any place I'd ever been, and I was ready to put as many miles between us and San Felipe as possible. When we finally came to a stop, safe on a wider stretch of highway, nobody could ignore how shaken we were.

We stayed in the car with the doors locked, just sitting there, hearing our own breathing, trying to puzzle out how a stupid idea for a late night drive turned into something that left us cold with fear. I don't remember who broke the silence, but they said exactly what I was already feeling. We're never going back there again. No one argued.

After that harrowing night, I couldn't bring myself to sleep more than a couple of hours. Every time I shut my eyes, flashes of fog-shrouded roads and warped shapes hit me like a twisted reel on replay. It wasn't just me. Everyone in our group was rattled. We texted each other at weird times, sharing bits of restless frustration and half-baked theories about what we'd witnessed.

some suggested we'd seen a wild animal others swore it was something far beyond that but as the hours slipped by curiosity snuck up on us despite the knots in our stomachs we agreed to head back yes back just to confirm we weren't losing our minds

part of me screamed that i should let it go but a stronger part insisted on a second look maybe we needed proof we weren't collectively hallucinating we waited until midnight then drove in tense silence through familiar streets the closer we got to san felipe the more my nerves wound tighter The road was still and unnervingly clear tonight, all the fog gone like it had never existed.

The driver slowed near the spot where everything went haywire before. Even though the headlights swept over the same towering tree, the branches looked different in the glare. No trace of that boxy phantom, no sign of the bulky, clawed figure gripping the trunk.

we pulled over to the side hearts pounding but kept the engine running like we needed a safety net in case anything lunged out from the shadows i stepped out half expecting something to charge at us from the darkness the air was crisp almost too quiet I circled the tree where we'd first glimpsed the nightmare, shining a flashlight up the trunk.

I wanted to see if there were any scraps of fur, footprints, anything that could validate our story. The bark had a few deep scratches, but for all I knew, they could have been there for years. No weird footprints, no slime, no matted fur, just our collective dread and a big tree rustling in the light breeze.
