Entry 19 – October 24, 2012
I had a good day today. Nothing much out of the ordinary happened. I didn't see anything that really shocked me like the previous day. When I went to my tree-house today, I saw the scratch marks again. I stared at marks for a little bit, just thinking. Am I overlooking some things because of my attachment with this creature? The question stayed in my mind for about the whole day. Now that I think about it, I might be. With the fact that I talk to the creature and it seemingly responds to me. That should be confusing to me, but I'm okay with it. I don't know...I can get a bit lonely at times. Tonight when I was up in the tree-house, I heard leaves crunching. Now, this wasn't the familiar sound of trees shaking, this was different. I listened some more to try to identify what this sound was. I then figured it out. It was the sound of leaves crunching on the ground. The sound was coming from behind my tree-house (the opposite side of where the deck faces). I was wondering if it was the creature and if it was, if I could get a look at it. There was a full moon out tonight. I didn't have to bring my flashlight to find my way to the two trees holding up the house. Once the noise was really close sounding, I slowly opened the hatch and looked around. I was hoping I would catch the creature passing by at the right angle. I then could hear it right below me. I stuck my head out of the opening and looked around frantically. I looked to the left of me and saw a bit of the creature. I saw all of its tail. It was longer than I had imagined. Also, it had two strange bits at the end of the tail. They were some kind of flaps or something. I don't know what they could be for. I think some smaller reptiles have flaps on their bodies that look like that, but those are used to gather heat (or something along those lines). Maybe its tail gets cold during the day and it uses that to keep it warm. I have no clue really. The night went without any trouble. I wasn't able to mention anything about seeing the creature during the day. I'm not even sure this thing knows anything I'm saying. It could just be listening to tone this whole time. I guess there are ways I could test this out, but I'm not sure if that's my main priority at the moment. At least I got to see more of this creature, even if it was more of its tail.
