Walking My Dog

It was just like any other day, I suppose. I'm just a 16 year old boy, living in his moms apartment for the summer. I didn't do too much but sit inside and play video games because I didn't really know anyone here. But that's besides the point. I own a dog whose 17 and still remains spiteful. He's showing signs of wearing down but it's not getting to him.

Anyway, my mom told me to walk him around the apartment complex. It's your usual complex. It's a bunch of buildings with gaps containing little field-like areas that lead into the main office where the pool, that never got clean, is along with the exercise room. It was night time. Around 11:30 I believe so I was frightened a little because the gap was pitch black. But I just went ahead and walked him. I made sure my mind wasn't playing any tricks on me because I looked out in the distance and noticed someone there. I know what your thinking, it's just a random person walking like I am. Except he was unusually tall and was looking right at me. I rubbed my eyes and did a reality check but he was still there. I couldn't make out his face or his clothes over the pitch black. But then again, I was too busy running too care too much as he was running towards me first. I felt bad for my dog as he wasn't up for the run. Neither was I, being lazy as I am. I sat in my room comprehending what I experienced hoping it was just some crazy person. But I never saw his face and his height scared me and I'm almost 6'3. I don't know why, but I wanted to know who that was. So I decided to, after a couple days, to build up enough courage to explore again. I understand it's dangerous but this didn't feel like a regular person. So I decided to try to go alone thinking my dog didn't feel like experiencing that again.

I walked around for a couple minutes, breathing heavily and remember where my place was. I looked around and I saw him, eyes wide and chest pounding, I decided to take a couple pictures with all my courage. I took 4 and I felt the need to run so that's what I did. I copied the pictures to my computer and I couldn't believe it. 2 pictures I took were completely distorted and unable to see anything. The third picture I completely missed and the 4th was when I was shaking heavily so you can't see him. I was too scared to be angry though. I'll upload the pictures later. But I'll most likely try again.
