He ran forward, across the snowy path, past some bungalow houses, it was a snowy night and an unknown noise has been heard. He began jumping, avoiding the puddles, snowflakes falling everywhere, enveloping the night sky. The moon is not visible, the creature is about three feet away from him.

Adrenaline pumping, he began to sprint, his handbag fell, the sound of wreckage can be heard, it seems that the creature got more aggressive, speeding up, the man began to trip and slide.

No hope?
Is there?
Yet?
So?

That was it.
The creature with glowing eyes in the winter solstice.
It exists.
No joke, but...how?
How can I report this to my family?
Is this what it feels like to be dead?
Blackness, oh blackness.
I guess it's time for me to rest now.

Morning

"A dead body has been found laying beside a Cooper, the man has been clawed by an unknown animal, and it seems that the man was trying to outrun the creature." The morning news was blasting all over the room, James quickly switched off the TV and headed to work.

Sure this phenomenon can seem too scary to be true.
But it is.
Huh? I'm laughing.
Why? Because I can't seem to
REST

Nighttime

"What a mess of an old red tractor." James hurried to the vehicle and pushed it out of the mudpit, the wheels look dusty and old, a really vintage golden shade. "Wonder if this could still work." He was too lazy to try and get it back to the owner.

While on his way to his house, loud footsteps were heard. "I need to sleep." He shook it off, but it seems to be going faster, the sky darkens, a massive quantity of snow fell from the sky.

"Oh, yeah, it's winter solstice." Not looking back, he decided to sprint and rush forward to his home and safety, he saw the old Mini Cooper from the news report, the corpse appeared to be gone.

Looking back, he realized his fate.

Brother!
