It was the winter of 2013, Makahl had just finished his first year of wild land fire fighting - and to celebrate, he hand his friend Colby went to his cabin; far off in the woods of Montana.

Makahl also bought himself a 44 Magnum Revolver - which he brought along with him.

Makahl and Colby spent the day gathering wood and once it got dark, they burned the wood in the fire pit in front of the cabin.

They were playing music through a blue-tooth speaker, sipping beers and hanging out.

About five minutes had passed, when Makahl heard a sound coming from behind the cabin.

They both paused.

It was probably just the wind or something. Makahl threw another log onto the fire and they continued talking.

A few minutes later, they heard it again.

Bang, Bang, Bang.

"Did you hear that?" Makahl asked Colby.

"Yeah,it's probably just some cattle...or something...?" Colby replied.

"Cattle don't make noise like that." Makahl pointed out.

They tried to think of what could possibly be the source of this strange, almost rhythmic sound.

Maybe it was the trees freezing?

But it wasn't cold enough for that. The nearest neighbor wasn't for a few miles.

Was someone messing with them?

"Hey! Who's there?" Makahl tried to sound as intimidating as possible despite being scared to the bone.

"If you don't stop, I'm gonna shoot!" They waited.

Makahl shot his gun at a nearby tree as a warning.

When the ringing in their ears began to fade, they heard a low, deep, guttural growl.

Makahl knows what all the animals in Montana sound like. Cougars, moose, black bears, badgers, coyotes, wolves, but this - he had never heard a growl like this before. And it sounded like a warning.

Makahl and Colby tan inside the cabin, locked the doors and closed the blinds. The following morning, they walked outside to where the sounds came from to see if they could find any tracks.

Something to give them an idea of what was there.

But the fresh fallen layer of snow had covered any evidence.

The following summer, Makahl and Colby returned to the cabin. Makahl's uncle had recently passed away and a mountain retreat was just what he needed.

At this point they had completely forgotten about the strange sounds last winter.

They arrived at the cabin early in the morning and spent the day gathering firewood. Once it got dark, they decided to stop and go inside for a break.

Makahl made a large pot of coffee to stay awake as they planned on staying up later to make a bonfire.

The living room of the cabin had a couch that faced the front door. Next to the door was a large window with the curtains pulled back.

It was completely pitch black outside.

Makahl and Colby were relaxing on the couch; sipping their mugs - when suddenly, a flash of light appeared outside.

Moments later, another flash.

And another.

With every flash Makahl heard what sounded like the shudder of a camera.

Like someone was taking photos.

Makahl turned to Colby.

"Do you see that?" The look on his face as enough of an answer.

The flashing lights continues for ten more minutes.

And then...silence.

They heard footsteps.

Soft, slow dragging along the ground.

Someone was outside of the cabin! They were miles away from anyone else.

Someone had travelled a very long way to get to them.

Makahl and Colby grabbed their rifles and followed the sound as it made its way to the front door.

It stopped.

Despite having just drank two cups of coffee, Makahl began to feel tired, heavy, it was like someone had just switched his brain to slow motion.

He could faintly hear Colby say; "I think they're putting something in the air,"

Before he dropped unconscious.

"Makahl? Makahl, wake up!" It was morning.

Makahl was on the floor next to his bed.

"How did I get here?" He asked

"I don't know, but I woke up in the middle of the hallway." Colby answered.

"Do you remember what happened last night?"

"I remember the footsteps at the door and then I think we both passed out. - But check this out!" Colby exclaimed.

- They walked downstairs to the living room. Colby pointed towards the front door. Both their rifles leaned merely against the door, right where they aimed them last night.

"Did you put those there?" Makahl asked.

"No."

Did somebody enter their house?

And were they still there?

When they left later that day, there was a black Dodge Ram with tinted windows parked about a mile away from Makahl's cabin.

It probably wouldn't have caught Makahl's eye if he hadn't known so much about the men in black.

Since about half a century ago, people who had witnessed UFO's or other unexplained phenomena, also claimed to be visited by mysterious men in black suits and ties.

Usually the men threaten the witness to never speak of what they saw. These are the Men in Black, an organisation whose job is to keep us from knowing what's really out there.

Did Makahl and Colby unknowingly witness something they weren't supposed to?

And did the Men in Black pay a visit to make sure they wouldn't tell anyone?

Unfortunately, there's no way to find out for sure.

But if this chapter of this book disappears without no explanation - I'll let you decide why.
