Encounter

Wow. So I just got back. That was...eventful? I'll describe it as best as I can in this blog post, but I'm not entirely sure if I'll be able to make it that great. I still have a hard time believing that it all happened as I remember.

I decided to stay up to watch Halley's comet, so when it came to be around that time, I went outside and sat on the grass outside of my apartment. That's when it happened. Immediately once the first meteor could be seen shooting across the night sky, someone began walking towards me. It was that freak in the plague doctor outfit. I got up and started backing away, but it was no use, it was like my feet weren't taking me anywhere.

The Doctor began to speak in an extremely low-toned voice. He said something along the lines of "You must overcome" or something similar. But he stopped cold in his tracks when he caught a glimpse of something behind me. In fact, I didn't even see it until I dared turn around once I knew that the Plague Doctor wouldn't attack me from behind.

Behind me was an extremely tall man of about 10 feet or so, wearing a slick business suit (frankly, I didn't even think they made suits for people of that stature, but what do I know?) but not wearing a face whatsoever. There were indents where his eyes and nose would be, but it didn't look like a mask.

How I'm remembering all of this in such detail confounds me, but I guess it is good for anyone who reads this blog. The next thing I remember is being consumed by a fear and dread unlike anything I had ever experienced before, and then the Plague Doctor uttered one single word under his breath before I passed out.

"Benefactor."

When I woke up, it was 1:30p.m. and I was in the same place that I was in last night, unharmed mostly, I had a pounding headache and as it would turn out that German landlord was the one who was waking me up. He gave me some aleeve and sent me on my way. I know something is going on, but I don't know what. I don't know if I should even pursue it. I wonder if I should just keep up my weather journal, and not worry about the tall man or the Plague Doctor ever again, but I question my ability to do so successfully.

Either way, I feel like the weather is the last thing on my mind right now.

Until next time?
Carson.
