I scoured the internet and found nothing.

I really didn’t know what to search for, so I just searched things like big scary guy in my backyard. There weren’t any posts on my neighborhood site about prowlers, so it just happened to me; no one else in the neighborhood had any scary experiences.

I debated on whether or not I should stay awake all night, but I did have work the next day, and I didn’t want to be groggy all day. Also, my eyelids were heavy, and I couldn’t keep them open. So, off to bed I went.

I dreamed of Frankenstein. My experience was similar, but I didn’t build a man, so there wouldn’t be one coming after me for revenge or to build him a bride. When I woke up, it was very early. I went to the kitchen to make myself some coffee.

I didn’t have any clean mugs, so I began to wash one out at the sink. While I did this, I gaze out the kitchen window when I see eyes, yellow glowing eyes.

Then, slowly, as if materializing out of space, the man’s face. He smiles, showing his yellow teeth, and says, “Peek-a-boo.”

I drop the mug in the sink and run to the bedroom to wake-up my husband.
