It was a cold, dark night. She went outside to go see the animals in the barn. On the way out, she heard footsteps behind her. A car drove by. In the reflection of the headlights, she saw it. The Deer Man: A figure with the head of a deer, the body of a man. She came running home and told her parents her story. And she even drew us a picture:

Z’s depiction of the Deer Man

 

Now, Big Z and her father are out hunting the Deer Man. And I am at home. It is warm in here, and someone needs to call the sci-fi channel for them when they scream.

I’ve heard myths of dog heads and bull heads, but never of deer heads…until now. You should warn the poor creature…send him a letter starting “Dear Mr Deer”.
