This story was a new one for Ryan. Never in his wildest dreams did he think he would be in such a situation. He had always been the kind of guy who knew what he was doing and didn't need to ask for directions in life. That was until today.
Ryan was going through his usual early morning routine like any other day during the week, but this time it was different. He was going down his usual morning path, which usually consisted of running through the Hudson Forest Preserve. It's a heavily forested area in the Midwest of the United States and it helped him clear his thoughts before heading into work. While he was running, he heard a sound. It was something unusual, a sound that wasn't supposed to be there, something electrical.
'That can't be right?' Ryan thought to himself. Then the sound quieted down, almost as if it was trying to hide from him, making almost no noise at all, but there was enough noise to get his attention. Ryan stopped in his tracks and listened carefully while trying to calm his breathing after running about 5 miles so far.
"What is that?" Ryan said, just barely whispering to himself.
'Whatever it is... It's coming closer.' He thought to himself.
He could hear a faint rustling in the bushes next to him. The rustle got louder as the dead leaves and brush were getting disturbed.
Whatever it was, was closing in on him quickly. Even though the logical part of his brain was telling him to turn back and run from the possible danger. But instead, it was his damn sense of adventure and curiosity that won over in the end. As it usually does when there was a possible mystery around the corner.
He kept on listening closely to the noises around him. Whatever this animal or thing may be, kept getting closer and closer. At first, he thought it was a small animal like a squirrel, but it started sounding bigger maybe it was a deer or something of similar size, which wouldn't be anything new in this part of the world. Ryan usually would at least see a deer once a day when running in the morning.
Then out of the brush came a thing. It was some orb, almost like a crystal ball. And it was emitting this strange glow that was coming from a rune at the center of this mysterious object.
It seemed to be very transparent, and it emitted a soft blue light with a hint of purple and green. The sphere was still floating in the air a foot above the ground but slowly started moving towards him.
"What the hell is that!?" He asked himself while not sure if he should be shocked or surprised by the strange object.
Ryan was trying to keep himself from losing his sanity while trying to come up with a logical reason for whatever this orb was. Having no clue if this orb is alien, mythical, or some type of phenomenon that's either natural or supernatural?
"Well, it doesn't seem hostile?" He said to himself. Then the orb started making a low bass sound. It was like a sound you would hear when your neighbor blasts a subwoofer and it could barely be muffled by the walls.
'Crap! That doesn't sound good!' Ryan thought, as he finally started to sense a bad omen coming from the mysterious glowing orb.
"Why is it getting louder?!" He asked himself once again, while the orb's strange sounds were starting to get more intense which Ryan could feel his chest cavity vibrate.
The orb seemed to be coming closer and closer, as it zeroed in on Ryan. It was moving at an alarming rate. With that Ryan promptly turned tail and tried to book it out of there. As fast as his legs could take him. Even though he couldn't see the orb he could feel the vibrations from that bass noise getting stronger behind him.
"God Dammit Ryan! You had to see what the fuck that mysterious sound was!" Ryan yelled and chastised himself for not being more cautious in life for the first time in a while.
