We’ve managed to find out some things. The most concerning of which is that we aren’t alone here after all. The night after my last post, I saw one of those trees. Actually, I need to think of a better name for them. How about card trees?

Sure, that works so anyway, I woke up having to take a leak something fierce. The blinds in the bathroom window were up. I didn’t think much of it as I did my businesses. Then I glanced out the window to see one of those freaky-as-shit things coming out of the woods. I ducked, cursing.

I heard it come closer and I pressed my back against the wall beside the window. I didn’t even want to breathe in case it could hear. Eventually, it did go away which I was thankful for. Well, that and the fact I took a piss beforehand. Yeah, that wasn’t a fun time.

Fortunately, we may be able to do something about it. The next morning I let Carl and Nick know what happened.

“What a close call,” Carl told me. “But how come we aren’t seeing any now?”

I shrugged.

“Maybe they don’t like daylight either?”

“Did it look different from the one that took Mike?” Nick asked.

“Well, it was dark, but now that you mention it, I do think it had diamonds instead of hearts.”
