The sky was bleak, the wind was picking up and I had just spent a half hour making sure my hair was in a tidy coiffure. I was meeting a new acquaintance I met online at this park. All that went by the wayside of course as soon as a cloud, seemingly with a purpose, suddenly decided to change direction and make a hasty trip right over my head. It was a large dark gray monstrosity and full of lightning and rain, maybe even hail! I decided to break for the picnic shelter a few yards away. There was a family there, and possibly the person I was to meet. I asked if I could share the space since I was alone.

Then the entire atmosphere changed. The people turned their heads toward me as if I was rudely interrupting them. I was, boy…was I! The supposedly innocent family gathering revealed a ritual of some sort. Nothing good, I saw, as the biggest man was holding a dripping knife and there was the proverbial bowl of red liquid—blood, I imagined.

I quickly stepped back out of the enclosure and turned toward my car. It seemed an interminable distance as I stumbled along, aghast at the horrid scene. They seemed to accept my leaving and returned to their activities, whatever they were. I shuddered as I turned on my car’s engine and sped away.

My cautious friend tried to warn me from meeting online strangers alone. She was correct!
