Everyday I head to the same playground to swing on the same swing. 
There's something lurking at the park. 

And there's nothing creepier than a tall man standing in the park with a huge smile on his face, staring at me. No one notices him except for me. 

I'll figure out who he is, even if it kills me. 

"So am I the only one who can see can see him? And why does he have a smile on his face?"
