We were standing on a steep downward slope decked out in heavy winter gear...Kamran in front of me and dad in front of him...but there's someone behind me...i don't recognize them...they have vibram five finger shoes...the one behind me shifts and in the dead silence the snow dislodged by his feet make me whirl in a alarm, knife drawn (either a Gerber Torch II or a Gerber DMF Manual)...we realize it's just that guy...

We proceed slowly down the mountain slope....there are tall trees all around...but spaced out....no brush can be seen between the trees...the snow is crisp...cold...fresh...it must've been recent...There's a tall outcropping of rock ahead...like chimney rock...but rougher...smaller...climbable...

There's a killer out here...a beast...it moves on all fours...silent...deadly...and extremely dangerous...

We hear a noise we suspect it came from the top of the rocks ahead....

We head that way.

We reach the bottom of the outcropping. Dad starts to climb up, blade in hand (DMF)...Kamran backs up and pulls out a compound bow...but to see the top clear enough for a shot, he has to move further and further back from the group and closer to the trees...

We've never really seen the creature...but i'm suddenly sure that someone was about to be attacked...I felt that it could jump clear off the top of the rocks to down below...as in right behind Kamran...I felt this overwhelming sense of fear and panic that the creature would either silently take Kamran while my back was turned to watch dad climb up to the top of the rocks...or that it lay in wait for my father at the top and the moment he reached the top it would pull him up and drag him off before we could do anything...

Not sure where the five finger shoe guy is...

I feel the beast is very close and that death is seconds away for one of us...

and then ...




My mother shakes me awake and the nightmare ends...but I can still see it as clear as day...it felt so real...my heart is still racing and i'm trembling...i could feel the cold and see the snow...i could feel the environment around me...

I've seen this one before...I don't know what means...It's almost like that movie After Earth...but it's not...

This is the first time I knew who was there with me...

I don't know...I don't know...

It was...frightening...Like i was just watching it happen, but my mind processed it before things happened and so I knew we were going to die before the creature attacked and I couldn't do anything at all to save either my father or my uncle...


I've got goosebumps all over from it...
