A Strange Surprise

Gleed walked over to his calendar and crossed off June 28. Strange things have been happening to him over the past month. For one, He is five eight. He never thought it was possible to grow eight inches in a month. It must be been a major growth sprit.

Now, he has outgrown most of his clothes, his bed is too small and he is as tall as his older brothers. They no longer take interest in trying to beat Gleed up, for Gleed is stronger then they are. Gleed is starting to become a tall, strong, and handsome boy.

His dreams about the blue eyes expanded until he could see an entire horse. This horse had wings and hoofs with two points. Its body was all white and its mane and tail were light blue. Gleed also found more prints on the ground in the forest, and they all stopped randomly leaving the last four prints deeper than the rest.

After breakfast, Gleed decided to take another trip to the woods to see if there were any new tracks. As he made his way to the woods, he realized something he never realized before. When he found prints for the first time he had gotten lost. But Gleed knew the whole forest by heart he has never gotten lost before. It's as if the tracks had lead him into a second dimension. He made up his mind to find the first tracks and follow them into the area where he had gotten lost.

It took him quite a while to find the prints he was looking for. By this time they were barely visible, he had to look really hard just to see that anything was there. He walked beside them for quite a while. The winded through the forest, up hills and through streams. When Gleed finallyreached the end of the tracks, he looked around. There was nothing but trees anda large boulder. Nothing out of the ordinary.

I can probably get a better view from the top of that big rock than down here. Gleed thought.

Gleed decided climbed up. He felt the cold rough surface of the rock under his hands as pulled himself higher. For a split second when Gleed reached the top, he saw a person on the other side. Gleed was so surprised he tried to yell out. But no sooner had anything left his throat, when the other man said, "Nae shun touv!" and Gleed blacked out.
