On a hike with a friend
in a national park,
he barely saw it coming,
ten feet tall and translucent.
He couldn’t make out its face
but its body looked largely
human.
He sensed it was menacing,
ducked when it charged him
and his friend.
In a millesecond, it snatched
his friend out of this existence
and it and his friend vanished.
Now he’s a person of interest;
the police think he’s crazy
enough to have killed his friend
based on his insane alibi.
