    A confused and desperate man is being stalked by a headless stranger whose real intentions may be very surprising to both him and you, the reader.

    Feeding Time:
    Some people think Bigfoot is tame... but is that really true? Or does it sometimes come out to eat men in order to retain its supernatural powers?

    Henry has been afraid of the dark ever since childhood. Now he's a grown man who believes that darkness is a direct link back to a previous world, a previous incarnation, where earthly fears actually have substance.

      Sleep.

      I needed sleep.

      Badly.

      My mind wanted to turn off, but I wouldn't let it. You wouldn't either if you were being stalked by a nightmarish figure that you only saw during your waking hours. I couldn't let it get me. I didn't want to know what it wanted from me or wanted to do to me.

      I became more relaxed as I lay on that smelly motel bed. My breaths were now long and deep. Every fiber in my body told me to let go of the conscious world, to submit to supreme relaxation.

      Once the bedside lamp flickered and went out, I knew I was in trouble again. The nightmarish figure had locked onto me, had found me. By what means, I had no reasonable idea. It had been tracking me since all this began. When lights went out, he was near.

      My eyelids were so heavy, I had to pry them open with my fingertips. My eyes burned against the air of the darkened room. The sudden pounding on the door forced me up out of bed and toward the only window of the room. I tried yanking it open, but it didn't budge.

      POOM-POOM-POOM! The pounding grew louder, more aggressive. He was trying to break the door down now.

      I felt around in the dark for the window latch, found it, and turned it. I pulled upward again, expecting to meet with crisp, cool, rural air, but I was met by nothing but a stubbornly-stuck window. Either painted or nailed shut.

      The door behind me thudded—boom, boom, BOOM! I could hear the cheap
