The young couple had saved for this holiday
to a sparsely populated country.
Arriving safely they settled in the small hotel
their room had a superb view.
Three weeks of bliss from works high tension
they had no intention to mention.
They heard of a local man who had been attacked
by an unidentified creature.
It was not the first event in this isolated area
stories existed of a monster!
Roaming the mountainsides wooded terrain
covered in mist after frequent rain.
Only farmers with land there would venture in
often finding livestock dead!
Their throats ripped out and drained of blood
superstition and fear ruled here.
Humans had gone missing it had been reported
many experts had been consulted.
Intrigued and fool hardy thinking this a laugh
to venture within on their own.
Not heeding warnings setting off one morning
unsuitably clothed and no guide.
Because everybody was scared of the creature
to them a major feature!
Still they went in search of this phantom beast
from a hot day into the damp mist.
Trekking on not realising they were lost
thinking it was just a tale.
But exhausted they sat as the darkness fell
their scepticism began to swell.
Every sound was heightened a noise they heard
was it footsteps in the trees?
An unusual bark as branches snapped nearby
then a chilling scream!
They hugged each other tight until half-light
as a shadow came into sight!
So quick they couldn’t be certain it was real
but sensed a presence near!
Trying to retrace the paths they had come
slowly stumbling along.
Certain now hostile forces were close behind
not of any human kind!
Thinking at last they were safe the beast pounced
stopping the man’s progress.
In vain the girl tried to assist but he just vanished
she lay sprawled injured as well.
Luckily two farmers found her there bleeding
like animals on her feeding!
The young man’s remains were never discovered
she came home scarred but alive!
The search for proof of an alien beast goes on
the girl knew the sceptics were wrong!
