Entry 7 – October 12, 2012
I guess I made finding that object a big enough priority today. Mainly because I found it. It is a strange looking thing. It sorta looks like a really thin, black rock. Of course, this couldn't have came from the tree. This had to be from the creature. But what is it? I don't know too much about animals, so I can't make a really good guess. I found the object on the ground, not far from the tree (pun unintended?). I borrowed one of my Dad's rakes to search through the leaves for anything with blood on it. About 20-30 minutes of searching later, I found the object. I'm looking at it right now as of writing. It's a shiny object. Not mirror reflective, but sorta glossy. The edges are, in fact, sharp, but I indirectly found that out before anything else. Things are starting to make the slightest bit of sense now, as far as why I was unable to see this creature. Even with the flashlight shown in the trees, I couldn't see it. I've only encountered this thing at night, so maybe it only comes out at that time. Next time I go out at night, I think I should be wearing a helmet and maybe some goggles. I don't want another cut. I had to "explain" my recent cut to my parents when I walked inside at night with a cut across my forehead. If I had told them everything about what had been happening, I don't know if they would believe me or not. I don't even know if it would be good if they did believe me. I'll keep my eyes and ears open for the creature. Now that I have a better idea of what I'm looking for.
