Stories of mythical creatures, both haunting and wonderful, have surrounded tight-knit communities and cultures for millennia. Most of the time, these creatures are nothing more than legends, myths birthed from humanity's insatiable curiosity, but sometimes a sighting or story cannot be easily rationalised. The following is the journal of cryptozoologist, George Porowski, recovered from his home following his death in 1988.
This is the second story I wrote in a collection of short stories and takes place almost a decade after "The Watching Peak."
