My pack was heavy, we were looking for a place to pitch. We like legroom so I carry a 3man.

We search for a secluded spot and we eventually find one. My back aches from the excessive weight we foolishly packed. For example, the mallet was unnecessary weight because when I went to peg the tent, the pegs were like a hot knife through butter.

Once we were set up, I made some makeshift "chairs" using nearby timber and our sleeping bags.

We cuddled up under the stars and drank our beverages but after a short period of time, something looked odd in the sky.

We looked on at this strange red diamond in the sky and I turned to my companion but she was gone.

Wtf? I thought.

Then I saw her silhouette as she ascended into the red diamond.

I was devastated yet I wondered "was she even human?".

A decade later, I saw her eat a man's brain so I had a lucky escape.

Brilliant, Wide-Eyes!

It was all going swimmingly; that ending took me by surprise... shocking!

Oh, I missed the window. It's my first time and I was bit drunk when I wrote it.

Thank you anyway.
