It was a sunny friday afternoon. My 10 year old son Alex had just gotten out of school for the day. He didnt have many friends, he usually just played in the backyard by himself. Occasionally he plays with an imaginary friend. I heard him talking.
I looked to see who he was with. I was confused when I saw that he was looking behind the shed while he talked. "what? why would someone be behind our shed? our yard is huge." I didnt question it. His mother was on the phone.
I called him in because she wanted to talk to Alex. Me and Alex's mother have been divorced since he was eight. They talked for about five minutes. When he went back outside, he checked behind the shed and was astounded. He shrugged and came back in. I asked what was wrong.
He said "he left". Now I was confused. I was watching the yard the whole time he was on the phone. Never saw anybody leave...
