Unknown

Something stirs beneath the muddy waters of the swamp.

Many creatures inhabit wetlands, and the everglades of Florida are no different, but the reptilian form that scrambles out of the swamp can be found nowhere else. It slithers its way into the sun and lies perfectly still; it’s species unknown. It remains basking until its last slimy scale is baked hard and brittle. The outer layer is then violently shaken off, leaving the manlike thing to climb to its feet. It begins to walk, slowly at first, then faster and faster. The naked form breaks into a steady run. It has a long way to go before finding what it needs, a residence, a home.

It is night and the large house is quiet. The last of the lights go out and the figure finds a way in and climbs to the bedrooms. Three sleeping figures, mother, father and son. Going from room to room, it touches the foreheads of each and their sleep is made deeper. It finds the man’s clothes hanging and selects. Dressed now, it gathers a cell phone and cash. Back down in the lounge, with lights on, a fast learner, it sits using Google maps. Destination, the White House, 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

Sixteen hours by car, two weeks on foot. It chooses the latter. It steps outside, leaving the front door ajar.

It begins to walk.

Its purpose, unknown.

  1. You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this matter to be really something which I think I would never understand. It seems too complicated and very broad for me. I am looking forward for your next post, I will try to get the hang of it!

  2. This blog is definitely rather handy since I’m at the moment creating an internet floral website – although I am only starting out therefore it’s really fairly small, nothing like this site. Can link to a few of the posts here as they are quite. Thanks much. Zoey Olsen

  3. Normally I do not read article on blogs, however I would like to say that this write-up very pressured me to try and do so! Your writing taste has been amazed me. Thanks, very nice article.

  4. Hi! This is kind of off topic but I need some guidance from an established blog. Is it very difficult to set up your own blog? I’m not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty fast. I’m thinking about creating my own but I’m not sure where to start. Do you have any tips or suggestions? Many thanks

  5. Having read this I thought it was very informative. I appreciate you taking the time and effort to put this article together. I once again find myself spending way to much time both reading and commenting. But so what, it was still worth it!

  6. An impressive share, I just given this onto a colleague who was doing a little analysis on this. And he in fact bought me breakfast because I found it for him.. smile. So let me reword that: Thnx for the treat! But yeah Thnkx for spending the time to discuss this, I feel strongly about it and love reading more on this topic.
