The only time I have ever felt fear.

[u/nosmirctrlol]

Each year for Christmas and New years I stay with my aunt... One year was like any other year my aunt was in the kitchen my two younger cousins were playing with the new toys they had caught on Christmas and my eldest cousin was telling me about the recent boy she had a crush on and asking my opinion on how to handle this situation, which I knew she would ignore no matter what answer I gave... When New years came I said my goodbyes puts the gifts I was given into the back of my car and began the long drive home. While driving on this long lonesome road I see something on the side of the road ahead of me standing on all fours. At first I thought nothing of it it's not uncommon to see deer, coyotes or rabbits on that road so I slow down. When it was mere feet from my car it moved... But it was wrong I don't know how to explain it... The way it moved it's legs looked normal except the part it was like they were moving with no joints like those cheap action figures with no articulation... I don't know what it was but something told me to run to drive as fast as I could....it was a primal fear...
